Windows Security Center (WSC) requires Windows devices to have an antivirus provider. The Carbon Black Cloud is a Microsoft-certified antivirus provider for WSC.

You can integrate the Carbon Black Cloud with WSC and designate the Carbon Black Cloud as your antivirus provider on devices that are running Windows 7 or later operating systems. You must be using a Carbon Black Cloud Windows sensor version 2.1.0.11+. When enabled, Carbon Black Cloud is listed as the antivirus provider on the device.

Note:

Users can disable or enable the WSC integration on their endpoint through Security and Maintenance in the Windows Control Panel.
