The legitimate utility runs only where approved and unrelated threats remain blocked. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A business-critical signed utility is mistakenly quarantined by a broad exclusion rule applied fleetwide, usually addressed by Use a narrow validated allowlist exception scoped to verified hashes or publishers. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Silverline Labs was resolved. The specific required evidence is: An identified new malicious file triggers a monitored response on affected endpoints.

A nonprivileged user cannot disable the connector or change its protection level.
