Exploit protection monitors how applications behave in memory and blocks malicious techniques attackers use to take control of a system<\/strong>, such as:<\/p>

  • Code injection<\/li>
  • Memory corruption<\/li>
  • Privilege escalation<\/li>
  • Bypassing security controls<\/li><\/ul>
    Exploit Protection Components.<\/h6><\/div>

    Exploits protection apply on all operating system.<\/p>

    • DEP (Data Execution Prevention)<\/strong> \u2013 stops code from running in non\u2011executable memory<\/li><\/ul>
      • ASR\/ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization)<\/strong> \u2013 makes memory locations unpredictable<\/li><\/ul>
        • SEHOP<\/strong> \u2013 prevents structured exception handler attacks<\/li><\/ul>
          Program (App\u2011specific) Mitigations<\/h6>

          Target specific applications that attackers frequently exploit.<\/p>

          Common protected apps:<\/p>

          • Browsers (Edge, Chrome)<\/li>
          • Microsoft Office apps<\/li>
          • Adobe Reader<\/li>
          • Java<\/li>
          • Line\u2011of\u2011business applications<\/li><\/ul>
            Exploit Techniques Blocked<\/h6>

            Exploit protection can stop attacks that use:<\/p>

            • Shellcode injection<\/li>
            • ROP (Return\u2011Oriented Programming)<\/li>
            • Heap corruption<\/li>
            • Untrusted fonts<\/li>
            • API tampering<\/li><\/ul>
