Detection ideas
- Alert on new directory reparse points under `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\`.
- Watch for new version-looking folder names exceeding known Defender versions.
- Detect Defender binaries executing from non-standard paths (e.g., `C:\TMP\`).
- Sysmon telemetry: FileCreate (Event ID 11) with ReparsePoint/Symlink in that path; process starts for `MsMpEng.exe` with unexpected image path.
Hardening tips
- Enforce allow-listed execution paths with WDAC/AppLocker; prohibit Defender from running outside trusted directories.
- Continuously validate Defenders configured platform path; remediate anomalies.
- Keep Tamper Protection enabled; monitor for Defender platform location changes.
