It is a powerful security boundary that leverages hardware virtualization and Hyper-V to protect Windows kernel mode processes against injection and execution of malicious or unverified code. The integrity of code that runs on Windows is validated by Memory integrity, making Windows resistant to attack from malicious software. Memory integrity helps to block many types of malware from running in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 environments. +For more information about Windows Security, see [Device protection in Windows Security](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4096339/windows-10-device-protection-in-windows-defender-security-center).
