@ -15,9 +15,9 @@ Windows includes group policy-configurable "Process Mitigation Options" that add
The Group Policy settings in this article are related to three types of process mitigations. All three types are on by default for 64-bit applications, but by using the Group Policy settings described in this article, you can configure more protections. The types of process mitigations are:
- **Data Execution Prevention (DEP)** is a system-level memory protection feature that enables the operating system to mark one or more pages of memory as nonexecutable, preventing code from being run from that region of memory, to help prevent exploitation of buffer overruns. DEP helps prevent code from being run from data pages such as the default heap, stacks, and memory pools. For more information, see [Data Execution Prevention](../../threat-protection/overview-of-threat-mitigations-in-windows-10.md#data-execution-prevention).
- **Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP)** is designed to block exploits that use the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) overwrite technique. Because this protection mechanism is provided at run-time, it helps to protect apps regardless of whether they're compiled with the latest improvements. For more information, see [Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection](../../threat-protection/overview-of-threat-mitigations-in-windows-10.md#structured-exception-handling-overwrite-protection).
- **Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR)** loads DLLs into random memory addresses at boot time to mitigate against malware that's designed to attack specific memory locations, where specific DLLs are expected to be loaded. For more information, see [Address Space Layout Randomization](../../threat-protection/overview-of-threat-mitigations-in-windows-10.md#address-space-layout-randomization). To find more ASLR protections in the table below, look for `IMAGES` or `ASLR`.

DEP helps prevent code from being run from data pages such as the default heap, stacks, and memory pools. For more information, see [Data Execution Prevention](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-10/security/threat-protection/overview-of-threat-mitigations-in-windows-10#data-execution-prevention).

The following procedure describes how to use Group Policy to override individual **Process Mitigation Options** settings.
