Code Signing Policy Modification Through Registry
editCode Signing Policy Modification Through Registry
editIdentifies attempts to disable/modify the code signing policy through the registry. Code signing provides authenticity on a program, and grants the user with the ability to check whether the program has been tampered with. By allowing the execution of unsigned or self-signed code, threat actors can craft and execute malicious code.
