Processors
Device Guard (DG) and Credential Guard (CG) are the new security features that are only available on Windows Enterprise today. Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features. When you configure them together, it locks a device down so that it can only run trusted applications. Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets (credentials) so that only privileged system software can access them. Unauthorized access to these secrets can lead to credential theft attacks. Credential Guard prevents these attacks by protecting NT LAN Manager (NTLM) password hashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets.
