# Credential Guard overview
Credential Guard, now [enabled by default on most Windows machines](#default-enablement), prevents credential theft attacks by protecting NTLM password hashes, Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets (TGTs), and credentials stored by applications as domain credentials.
Credential Guard prevents credential theft attacks by protecting NTLM password hashes, Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets (TGTs), and credentials stored by applications as domain credentials.
Credential Guard uses [Virtualization-based security (VBS)](/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-vbs) to isolate secrets so that only privileged system software can access them. Unauthorized access to these secrets can lead to credential theft attacks like *pass the hash* and *pass the ticket*.
