What actually throws a "Real Time Detection Disabled" high alert?

Sometimes in the morning when I come in to the office I notice I have "Real Time Detection Disabled" alerts.  The thing that bothers me is that the users and machines this is happening to/on do not have the rights to disable the protection service.  By the time I actually get to checking out the machines, the services are usually back up and running. 

 

Anyone have any words of wisdom here?

  • I was told by support that this can be tripped on shutdown/restart if the services stop out-of-order.  Essentially if the MCS Agent stops *after* the other services, it reads it as an error state and sends the alert.  They told me this was on the radar to be fixed, but that was about a year ago now.

  • Yeah, it'd be nice if that was cleared up.  It's odd when I have a boss asking after it and I am not able to explain why there are high alerts on the dashboard.  I kinda figured it was an out of order service stop or maybe when the machine is receiving a major Sophos update.
