Core isolation
- [Instructor] Now I'd like to talk about core isolation in Windows 11. So off the Start menu, I'll type in core, and select the option for Core Isolation. This will take me to a very simple interface that allows me to turn on or turn off memory integrity. So I'll go ahead and turn that on now. The user account control asks me to approve, and I'll click Yes. Memory integrity prevents attacks from inserting malicious code into some of the Windows Core processes. It does this by virtualizing some of those processes, which results in the processes being isolated from other parts of memory, making it much more difficult for a buffer overflow or a malicious device driver to inject malicious code into those core processes. There isn't a whole lot to configure here, and there isn't much you need to change other than memory integrity should be turned on in most Windows 11 computers.
