Abstract
An enterprise computing system may utilize a management infrastructure that interacts with protected services in the system. The management infrastructure accepts requests through an anti-tamper procedure that specifies a tamper event, a crucial service to be protected, and a remedial action that may be applied when the tamper event occurs on the protected service. The anti-tamper procedure may be created by a system administrator and distributed to one or more client devices in the system. The management infrastructure monitors a protected service in accordance with the operations and actions specified in the anti-tamper procedure thereby ensuring that the integrity of the system is preserved.
