Notes ​

Enable Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP) ​

A REG_DWORD value of 0 enables Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP) system-wide. SEHOP mitigates exploits that use memory corruption to alter the chain of Windows Structured Exception Handling (SEH) handlers.

Turn On Virtualization Based Security ​

This computer policy controls Virtualization-based Security (VBS) and several protections that use it. VBS uses hardware virtualization and the Windows hypervisor to create a secure environment isolated from the normal operating system. Windows can host security services in this environment and protect selected resources even if the regular operating-system kernel is compromised.
