940- Detection ideas
941- - Alert on new directory reparse points under ` C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\ ` .
942- - Watch for new version-looking folder names exceeding known Defender versions.
943- - Detect Defender binaries executing from non-standard paths (e.g., ` C:\TMP\ ` ).
944- - Sysmon telemetry: FileCreate (Event ID 11) with ReparsePoint/Symlink in that path; process starts for ` MsMpEng.exe ` with unexpected image path.

946- Hardening tips
947- - Enforce allow-listed execution paths with WDAC/AppLocker; prohibit Defender from running outside trusted directories.
948- - Continuously validate Defender’s configured platform path; remediate anomalies.
949- - Keep Tamper Protection enabled; monitor for Defender platform location changes.
