Anti-Tampering for Zscaler Client Connector

Anti-tampering protection prevents non-admin end-users from stopping, modifying, and deleting Zscaler products and services, including Zscaler files and new registry keys. Admins can enable or disable anti-tampering in Zscaler Client Connector App Profiles. To disable anti-tampering as an end user, see Troubleshooting Zscaler Client Connector.

Anti-tampering is supported only on Windows desktop operating systems. Anti-tampering is not supported on Windows Server operating systems.

Zscaler Anti-Tampering does not run in safe mode by design. Zscaler recommends disabling safe mode for all end-users and allowing safe mode access only to the administrator.

ZEP Installer

The anti-tampering framework is part of the ZEP module and is installed by the ZEPInstaller.exe. The ZEPInstaller.exe is a 32-bit program on a 32-bit OS and a 64-bit program on a 64-bit OS that is embedded as a resource inside the Zscaler Client Connector installer. For example, Zscaler-windows-4.0.60.9-installer.exe.

The Zscaler Client Connector installer unpacks the ZEPInstaller.exe to /program files/zscaler on the local hard drive.

To enable anti-tampering using an install option, see Customizing Zscaler Client Connector with Install Options for EXE or Customizing Zscaler Client Connector with Install Options for MSI.
