Configure Attack Surface Reduction rules - be9ba2d9-53ea-4cdc-84e5-9b1eeee46550

Information

Set the state for each Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rule. After enabling this setting you can set each rule to the following in the Options section:
- Block: the rule will be applied
- Audit Mode: if the rule would normally cause an event then it will be recorded (although the rule will not actually be applied)
- Off: the rule will not be applied

Enabled: Specify the state for each ASR rule under the Options section for this setting.

Enter each rule on a new line as a name-value pair:
- Name column: Enter a valid ASR rule ID
- Value column: Enter the status ID that relates to state you want to specify for the associated rule

The following status IDs are permitted under the value column:
- 1 (Block)
- 0 (Off)
- 2 (Audit)

Example:
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx 0
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx 1
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx 2

Disabled: No ASR rules will be configured.

Not configured: Same as Disabled.

You can exclude folders or files in the 'Exclude files and paths from Attack Surface Reduction Rules' GP setting.
