Issue/Introduction

What is the impact of disabling "Use Windows Security Center" in the policy?

Environment

• Endpoint Standard (was CB Defense)
• Carbon Black Cloud Windows Sensor: 2.1.0.11 and Higher
• Microsoft Windows: Windows 7 and later

Resolution

• If "Use Windows Security Center" is enabled, then Carbon Black Cloud is listed as the antivirus provider on the device.
• If "Use Windows Security Center" is disabled, then Carbon Black Cloud is NOT listed as the antivirus provider on the device.
• Typically if Carbon Black Cloud is listed as the antivirus provider Windows will turn off Windows Defender

Additional Information

• Windows Security Center (WSC) requires Windows devices to have an antivirus provider.
• The Carbon Black Cloud is a Microsoft-certified antivirus provider for WSC.
• The "Use Windows Security Center" option is enabled by default in the default (Standard) policy group.
• You can disable WSC integration at any time; Doing so does not disable sensor protection
• Endpoint Standard orgs provisioned before July 2017 will need to enable WSC in policy sensor settings.
