Question About Module Compatibility With Sophos Endpoint

[ITCurious]

I have installed Sophos Endpoint on my computer, and when I try to deploy the Harden-Windows-Security module, it causes a conflict. Are there any modules within Harden-Windows-Security that are compatible with a computer running Sophos Endpoint?

Hi, it's not currently possible with the module. Please take a look at this announcement. I'm going to release the app to the Microsoft Store soon and it will be completely different than the module, e.g., it won't have the limitation you mentioned.

Just to give an update, the new app no longer has any restriction in place when 3rd party AVs are present: https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security/releases/tag/HardenSystemSecurity-v.1.0.1.0

However, i wouldn't recommend activating all of the Microsoft Defender or Attack Surface Reduction features when another AV is present in case there's a conflict. The good thing about the new app is that you can selectively apply/remove/verify every single security measure.
