# SR-9 — Tamper Resistance and Detection

- **Control ID:** SR-9
- **Family:** [SR](/md/families/SR.md)
- **Baselines:** high
- **Enhancement of:** No content available.

## Description

Implement a tamper protection program for the system, system component, or system service.

## Discussion

Anti-tamper technologies, tools, and techniques provide a level of protection for systems, system components, and services against many threats, including reverse engineering, modification, and substitution. Strong identification combined with tamper resistance and/or tamper detection is essential to protecting systems and components during distribution and when in use.
