 This rule attempts to block Office files that contain macro code that is capable of importing Win32 DLLs. 
 
+### Rule: Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria
  
+This rule blocks the following file types from being run or launched unless they meet prevalence or age criteria set by admins, or they are in a trusted list or exclusion list:
+ 
+- Executable files (such as .exe, .dll, or .scr) 
+- Script files (such as a PowerShell .ps, VisualBasic .vbs, or JavaScript .js file)
+ 
+### Rule: Use advanced protection against ransomware
+ 
+This rule provides an extra layer of protection against ransomware. Executable files that enter the system will be scanned to determine whether they are trustworthy. If the files exhibit characteristics that closely resemble ransomware, they are blocked from being run or launched, provided they are not already in the trusted list or exception list.
+ 
+### Rule: Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem (lsass.exe)
+ 
+Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) authenticates users who log in to a Windows computer. Windows Defender Credential Guard in Windows 10 normally prevents attempts to extract credentials from LSASS. However, some organizations can't enable Credential Guard on all of their computers because of compatibility issues with custom smartcard drivers or other programs that load into the Local Security Authority (LSA). In these cases, attackers can use tools like Mimikatz to scrape cleartext passwords and NTLM hashes from LSASS. This rule helps mitigate that risk by locking down LSASS.
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>[Exclusions do not apply to this rule](customize-attack-surface-reduction.md#exclude-files-and-folders).
+ 
+### Rule: Block process creations originating from PSExec and WMI commands
+ 
+This rule blocks processes through PsExec and WMI commands from running, to prevent remote code execution that can spread malware attacks.
+
+>[!WARNING]
+>[Only use this rule if you are managing your devices with Intune or other MDM solution. If you use this rule with SCCM, it will prevent SCCM compliance rules from working, because this rule blocks the PSExec commands in SCCM.]
+ 
+### Rule: Block untrusted and unsigned processes that run from USB
+ 
+With this rule, admins can prevent unsigned or untrusted executable files from running from USB removable drives, including SD cards. Blocked file types include:
+ 
+- Executable files (such as .exe, .dll, or .scr) 
+- Script files (such as a PowerShell .ps, VisualBasic .vbs, or JavaScript .js file)
