What must be done before removing Endpoint Protection on a device?

Before removing Endpoint Protection on a device, tamper protection must be disabled. Tamper protection is a security feature designed to prevent unauthorized users or applications from modifying or uninstalling the security solution. By requiring this step, the degree of protection against accidental or malicious changes to the endpoint’s security is maintained.

Disabling tamper protection ensures that legitimate administrators can remove or modify the Endpoint Protection software without any hindrance from the security measures in place. Once this protection is disabled, it allows for the safe and proper uninstallation process to take place.

This process is crucial because it ensures that only authorized actions are permitted regarding the security software, keeping the system’s integrity intact until such time that the administrator intentionally decides to uninstall it.
