I vaguely recall something about application whitelisting being a better approach for this scenario. So, I’m thinking the answer is No as well.

I’m a bit confused because I thought Tamper Protection was supposed to help with security. But if it doesn’t specifically limit app modifications, then maybe it’s a No?

I remember a practice question where we had to restrict app access, and Tamper Protection didn’t come up as a solution. I’m not sure, but I feel like it’s not the right answer.

I think Tamper Protection is more about preventing changes to security settings rather than controlling app access to folders. So, I’m leaning towards No.
