Microsoft Defender for Endpoint: RealTimeSignatureDelivery will be Enabled for all Customers

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 28, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint will be changing the behavior of RealtimeSignatureDelivery.

When this will happen:

We will be releasing this update in early April and expect rollout to be complete by mid-May.

How this will affect your organization:

With the new release, RealTimeSignatureDelivery will no longer be configurable by end-users, and it will be set to its default value which is enabled. Changes to this setting may appear to succeed, but the changes are being ignored and the value will always stay enabled.

This action is being taken to address issues raised by customers related to enabling tamper protection. Tamper protection was unexpectedly failing when RealtimeSignatureDelivery was disabled, and based on our analysis, there are currently no valid reasons to have RealtimeSignatureDelivery disabled.

What you need to do to prepare:

There is no action required in advanced on this change.
