Issue/Introduction

Administrators may notice through routine security audits or manual inspection that the digital signature timestamp for edpa.exe has passed its "Valid To" date.

 

Environment

16.0 +

Cause

NA

Resolution

There is no functional impact on agent performance, communication, or detection. This certificate is strictly used to sign the executable, so the Operating System (OS) recognizes it as coming from a trusted source.

Also, it is not possible to extend or renew the certificate for an existing package. New agent versions use updated certificates.
