Discussion

Malicious code protection mechanisms include, but are not limited to, antivirus and malware detection software. To minimize potential negative impact to the organization that can be caused by malicious code, it is imperative that malicious code is identified and eradicated. This setting allows users with Live Response privileges to connect remotely to servers (Windows Server or Linux devices) they are authorized to access.

Check Content

Access the MDE portal as a user with at least an MDE Administrator or equivalent role:

1. In the navigation pane, select Settings >> Endpoints >> Advanced features (under General).
2. Verify the slide bar for "Live Response for Servers" is set to "On".

If the slide bar for "Live Response for Servers" is not set to "On", this is a finding.
