Examples of security secrets that can be protected include NTLM password hashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets. This protection helps prevent Pass-the-Hash or Pass-the-Ticket attacks.

Credential Guard has the following features:
  • **Hardware-level security** - Credential Guard uses hardware platform security features (such as Secure Boot and virtualization) to help protect derived domain credentials and other secrets.
  • **Virtualization-based security** - Windows services that access derived domain credentials and other secrets run in a virtualized, protected environment that is isolated.
  • **Improved protection against persistent threats** - Credential Guard works with other technologies (for example, Device Guard) to help provide further protection against attacks, no matter how persistent.
  • **Improved manageability** - Credential Guard can be managed through Group Policy, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), or Windows PowerShell.

    For more information, see [Protect derived domain credentials with Credential Guard](/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard).

    *Credential Guard requires | |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.

    Device Guard protects in the following ways:
  • Helps protect against malware
  • Helps protect the Windows system core from vulnerability and zero-day exploits
  • Allows only trusted apps to run
