We have tamper protection as a feature, and if someone tries unauthorized access or attempts to disable the agent using the means which is not supposed to be(eg, disabling registry, taskkill commands etc.) Cortex XDR will generate prevention or detection alerts for the same. However, if you disable the agent using cytool commands, we do not get alerts. These events are, however, logged-in agent audit logs and can be forwarded as notifications or created as correlation rules to generate alerts.
