Thanks Samuel reporting this! We actually did windows sign-in process for DMC from v3.1.1. I will let team to take a look of this specific .exe file to see whether these is something missing here.

Hi Samuel. Thanks for bringing the issue to our attention. Yes, request.exe is indeed a part of DMC. It helps us in allocating a free port to fetch the alerts into the data management console. As you said, it should have been digitally signed. Apologies for the inconvenience with the Windows Defender. Let me check with the sign on team and get back to you. But request.exe is indeed a valid executable.

Hi @Abhinandan Kelgere Ramesh

Thanks for confirming it.  For now, I have made an exclusion policy on Windows-Defender to allow this executable to run and not "check- it" anymore.

Thanks
