+## Manage tamper protection for your organization using the Microsoft Defender Security Center
+
+Currently in preview, tamper protection can be turned on or off in the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)). Here are a few points to keep in mind:
+
+- When you use the Microsoft Defender Security Center to manage tamper protection, you do not have to use Intune or the tenant attach method.
+- When you manage tamper protection in the Microsoft Defender Security Center, the setting is applied tenant wide, affecting all of your devices that are running Windows 10. To fine-tune tamper protection (such as having tamper protection on for some devices but off for others), use either [Intune](#manage-tamper-protection-for-your-organization-using-intune) or [Configuration Manager with tenant attach](#manage-tamper-protection-for-your-organization-with-configuration-manager-version-2006).
+- If you have a hybrid environment, tamper protection settings configured in Intune take precedence over settings configured in the Microsoft Defender Security Center. 
+- Tamper protection is generally available; however, the ability to manage tamper protection in the Microsoft Defender Security Center is currently in preview.
+
+### Requirements for managing tamper protection in the Microsoft Defender Security Center
+
+- You must have appropriate [permissions](../microsoft-defender-atp/assign-portal-access.md), such as global admin, security admin, or security operations.
+- Your Windows devices must be running one of the following versions of Windows:
+   - Windows 10
+   - [Windows Server 2019](/windows-server/get-started-19/whats-new-19)
+   - Windows Server, version [1803](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-1803) or later
+   - [Windows Server 2016](/windows-server/get-started/whats-new-in-windows-server-2016)
+   - For more information about releases, see [Windows 10 release information](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/release-health/release-information).
+- Your devices must be [onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](../microsoft-defender-atp/onboarding.md).
+- Your devices must be using anti-malware platform version 4.18.2010.7 (or above) and anti-malware engine version 1.1.17600.5 (or above). ([Manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus updates and apply baselines](manage-updates-baselines-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md).)
