## Security considerations with managed installer
Since managed installer is a heuristic-based mechanism, it doesn't provide the same security guarantees that explicit allow or deny rules do.
It's best suited for use where each user operates as a standard user and where all software is deployed and installed by a software distribution solution, such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MEMCM).

Users with administrator privileges, or malware running as an administrator user on the system, may be able to circumvent the intent of Windows Defender Application Control when the managed installer option is allowed.
