Whilst running Bitdefender, Windows Defenders "Controlled Folder Access" cannot be used, as Defender Realtime Protection must be enabled, which Bitdefender replaces.
This feature would be extremely beneficial for a number of use cases. Would Bitdefender consider implementing such a feature under the Ransomware Protection feature?
This adds a good layer of protection where you want nothing to access specific files and folders. For example, if I had a secondary SSD for backups and wanted ONLY Veeam Agent Free to be able to do anything with the folder, all other apps/users would be denied write access, protecting the folder from unwanted changes from a bad actor or via user error.
Currently the only workaround to this is fiddling with creating a secondary account, changing a ton of folder permissions and still being at more risk that if Controlled Folder Access were enabled.
There are many other good use cases for this feature, I have only given one example.
Thanks in advance!
