Every device in the isolated domain and the devices that cannot use Kerberos V5 are provided with a device certificate that can be used to authenticate with each other. Certificate-based isolation requires a way to create and distribute an appropriate certificate (if you choose not to purchase one from a commercial certificate provider).| | Domain isolation | A technique for helping protect the devices in an organization by requiring that the devices authenticate each other's identity before exchanging information, and refusing connection requests from devices that cannot authenticate. Domain isolation takes advantage of Active Directory domain membership and the Kerberos V5 authentication protocol available to all members of the domain. Also see "Isolated domain" in this table.| | Encryption zone | A subset of the devices in an isolated domain that process sensitive data. Devices that are part of the encryption zone have all network traffic encrypted to prevent viewing by non-authorized users.

IPsec protects all protocols in the TCP/IP protocol suite except Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).| | IPsec policy | A collection of connection security rules that provide the required protection to network traffic entering and leaving the device. The protection includes authentication of both the sending and receiving device, integrity protection of the network traffic exchanged between them, and can include encryption.| | Isolated domain | An Active Directory domain (or an Active Directory forest, or set of domains with two-way trust relationships) that has Group Policy settings applied to help protect its member devices by using IPsec connection security rules. Members of the isolated domain require authentication on all unsolicited inbound connections (with exceptions handled by the other zones).
In this guide, the term *isolated domain* refers to the IPsec concept of a group of devices that can share authentication. The term *Active Directory domain* refers to the group of devices that share a security database by using Active Directory.| | Server isolation | A technique for using group membership to restrict access to a server that is typically already a member of an isolated domain. The additional protection comes from using the authentication credentials of the requesting device to determine its group membership, and then only allowing access if the computer account (and optionally the user account) is a member of an authorized group.| -| Solicited network traffic | Network traffic that is sent in response to a request.

Windows Defender Device Guard on Windows 10 Enterprise changes from a mode where apps are trusted unless blocked by an antivirus or other security solution, to a mode where the operating system trusts only apps authorized by your enterprise. You designate these trusted apps by creating *code integrity policies*. Like the operating system, code integrity contains two primary components: kernel mode code integrity (KMCI) and user mode code integrity (UMCI). KMCI has been available in previous versions of the Windows operating system, and protects the kernel mode from running unsigned drivers. In Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, UMCI is also available, to help protect against viruses and malware. -To increase the security level offered by code integrity policies, Device Guard can leverage advanced hardware features on hardware that supports them. These features include CPU virtualization extensions (called "Intel VT-x" or "AMD-V") and second-level address translation (SLAT). In addition, hardware that includes input/output memory management units (IOMMUs) provides even stronger protections. When you enable the features associated with CPU virtualization extensions and SLAT, the Code Integrity service can run alongside the kernel in a Windows hypervisor-protected container. The following table provides more information about how Device Guard and these hardware features can help protect against various threats. +To increase the security level offered by code integrity policies, Windows Defender Device Guard can leverage advanced hardware features on hardware that supports them.

This approach uses the trust-nothing model well known in mobile device operating systems.
    Only code that is verified by Code Integrity, usually through the digital signature that you have identified as being from a trusted signer, is allowed to run. This allows full control over allowed code in both kernel and user mode.

    **Specialized hardware required?** No security-related hardware features are required, although code integrity policies are strengthened by such features, as described in the last three rows of this table. | | **Exposure to unsigned code** (most malware is unsigned) | **Code integrity policies, plus catalog files as needed**:  Because most malware is unsigned, using a code integrity policy (which in most cases requires signed code) can immediately help protect against a large number of threats. However, many organizations use unsigned line-of-business (LOB) applications, for which the process of signing might be difficult. This has changed in Windows 10, because you can use a tool called Package Inspector to create a *catalog* of all deployed and executed binary files for your trusted applications. After you sign and distribute the catalog, your trusted applications can be handled by code integrity policies in the same way as any other signed application. With this foundation, you can more easily block all unsigned applications, allowing only signed applications to run.

    **Specialized hardware required?** No security-related hardware features are required for creating and using code integrity policies and catalogs. However, code integrity policies and catalogs are strengthened by the hardware features, as described in later rows of this table. | -| **Malware that gains access to the kernel** and then, from within the kernel, captures sensitive information or damages the system | **Virtualization-based security (VBS)**:  This is protection that uses the hypervisor to help protect the kernel and other parts of the operating system. When VBS is enabled, it strengthens either the default kernel-mode code integrity policy (which protects against bad drivers or system files), or the configurable code integrity policy that you deploy.
    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. The hypervisor, the most privileged level of system software, enforces R/W/X permissions across system memory. Code integrity checks are performed in a secure environment which is resistant to attack from kernel mode software, and page permissions for kernel mode are set and maintained by the hypervisor. Even if there are vulnerabilities that allow memory modification, like a buffer overflow, the modified memory cannot be executed.

When VBS is enabled, it strengthens either the default kernel-mode code integrity policy (which protects against bad drivers or system files), or the configurable code integrity policy that you deploy.
    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. The hypervisor, the most privileged level of system software, enforces R/W/X permissions across system memory.

UEFI runtime service code must support read-only page protections, and UEFI runtime service data must not be exceutable.
    • UEFI runtime service must meet these requirements:
        • Implement UEFI 2.6 EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE. All UEFI runtime service memory (code and data) must be described by this table.
        • PE sections need to be page-aligned in memory (not required for in non-volitile storage).

            • All entries must include attributes EFI_MEMORY_RO, EFI_MEMORY_XP, or both

    Notes:
    • This only applies to UEFI runtime service memory, and not UEFI boot service memory.
    • This protection is applied by VBS on OS page tables.
