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.

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.
