-|Device Guard|This feature is a combination of hardware and software security features that allows only trusted applications to run on a device. Even if an attacker manages to get control of the Windows kernel, they're much less likely to run executable code. Device Guard can use virtualization-based security (VBS) in Windows Enterprise edition to isolate the Code Integrity service from the Windows kernel itself. With VBS, even if malware gains access to the kernel, the effects can be severely limited, because the hypervisor can prevent the malware from executing code.<br><br>Device Guard protects in the following ways:<li>Helps protect against malware<li>Helps protect the Windows system core from vulnerability and zero-day exploits<li>Allows only trusted apps to run<br><br>For more information, see [Introduction to Device Guard](/windows/security/application-security/application-control/introduction-to-device-guard-virtualization-based-security-and-windows-defender-application-control).|

-### Device Guard
-
-Now that the devices have Windows Enterprise, Device Guard can be implemented on the Windows Enterprise devices by performing the following steps:
-
-1. **Optionally, create a signing certificate for code integrity policies**. As code integrity policies are deployed, catalog files or code integrity policies might need to be signed internally. To sign catalog files or code integrity policies internally, either a publicly issued code signing certificate (normally purchase) or an internal certificate authority (CA) is needed. If an internal CA is chosen, a code signing certificate needs to be created.
-
-2. **Create code integrity policies from "golden" computers**. Departments or roles sometimes use distinctive or partly distinctive sets of hardware and software. In these instances, "golden" computers containing the software and hardware for these departments or roles can be set up. In this respect, creating and managing code integrity policies to align with the needs of roles or departments can be similar to managing corporate images. From each "golden" computer, a code integrity policy can be created and then decided how to manage that policy. Code integrity policies can be merged to create a broader policy or a primary policy, or each policy can be managed and deployed individually.
-
-3. **Audit the code integrity policy and capture information about applications that are outside the policy**. Microsoft recommends using "audit mode" to carefully test each code integrity policy before enforcing it. With audit mode, no application is blocked. The policy just logs an event whenever an application outside the policy is started. Later, the policy can be expanded to allow these applications, as needed.
-
-4. **Create a "catalog file" for unsigned line-of-business (LOB) applications**. Use the Package Inspector tool to create and sign a catalog file for the unsigned LOB applications. In later steps, the catalog file's signature can be merged into the code integrity policy so that the policy allows applications in the catalog.
-
-5. **Capture needed policy information from the event log, and merge information into the existing policy as needed**. After a code integrity policy has been running for a time in audit mode, the event log will contain information about applications that are outside the policy. To expand the policy so that it allows for these applications, use Windows PowerShell commands to capture the needed policy information from the event log. Once the information is captured, merge that information into the existing policy. Code integrity policies can also be merged from other sources, which allow flexibility in creating the final code integrity policies.
-
-6. **Deploy code integrity policies and catalog files**. After confirming that all the preceding steps are completed, catalog files can be deployed and the code integrity policies can be taken out of audit mode. Microsoft strongly recommends beginning this process with a test group of users. Testing provides a final quality-control validation before deploying the catalog files and code integrity policies more broadly.
-
-7. **Enable desired hardware security features**. Hardware-based security features—also called virtualization-based security (VBS) features—strengthen the protections offered by code integrity policies.
