Manage Agent Tampering Protection
Agent tampering protection allows you to protect
the Traps agents running on your endpoints. For flexible, granular
control over agent tampering protection, you can configure agent
tampering protection for individual Traps components including Traps
services, processes, registry keys, and files.
When enabled,
Traps restricts access to the agent components so that they cannot be
modified, stopped, or tampered with in any way.
- Create a new agent settings rule.Select SettingsAgentSettings and then Add a new rule.
- Select Agent Tampering Protection and
then enable one or more of the options:
- Enable Services protection—Protect Traps services including Traps, Traps Local Analysis Service, and Traps Reporting Service.
- Enable Processes protection—Protect Traps services such as Cyserver.exe, CyveraConsole.exe, CyveraService.exe, and tlaworker.exe.
- Enable Files protection—Protect Traps system files stored in %Program Files%\Palo Alto Networks\Traps and %ProgramData%\Cyvera (or C:\ Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cyvera on Windows XP).
- Enable Registry Values protection—Protect all Traps registry values stored in HKLM\SYSTEM\Cyvera.
- (Optional)
Add Conditions to
the rule. By default, a new rule does not contain any conditions.To specify a condition, select the Conditions tab, select the condition in the Conditions list, and then Add it to the Selected Conditions list. Repeat this step to add more conditions, as needed. You can also define new Conditions.
- (Optional)
Define the Target
Objects to which to apply the rule.To define a smaller subset of target objects, select the Objects tab, and then enter one or more AD Users, AD Computers, AD Groups, AD Organizational Unit, Existing Endpoints, or Existing Groups in the Include or Exclude areas. The Endpoint Security Manager queries Active Directory to verify the users, computers, groups, or organizational units. The ESM Console also offers autocompletion as you type for existing endpoints and existing virtual groups.
- (Optional)
Review the rule name and description. The ESM Console automatically
generates the rule name and description based on the rule details
but permits you to change these fields, if needed.To override the autogenerated name, select the Name tab, clear the Activate automatic description option, and then enter a rule name and description of your choice.
- Save the agent settings rule.Do either of the following:
- Save the rule without activating it. This option is only available for inactive, cloned, or new rules. When you are ready to activate the rule, select the rule from the SettingsAgentSettings page and then click Activate.
- Apply the rule to activate it immediately.
After saving or applying a rule, you can return to the Settings page at any time to Delete or Deactivate the rule.
