In sensor update policies, what does 'uninstall protection' prevent?

Uninstall protection is a key feature in sensor update policies that specifically safeguards against unauthorized removal of the sensor from endpoints. This functionality is crucial in maintaining continuous endpoint visibility and protection, as it ensures that the sensor remains operational and capable of detecting and responding to threats. By preventing users from uninstalling the sensor, organizations can better secure their systems and reduce the risk of endpoint vulnerabilities that arise when the sensor is disabled or removed.

In this context, options related to updates, compatibility with operating systems, and manual management do not align with the primary function of uninstall protection. These features serve different purposes within the sensor management framework, such as keeping the sensor updated or managing it without user intervention.
