Implementing Memory Protection with DEP and ASLR

When to Use

Use this skill when hardening endpoints against memory-based exploits by configuring DEP, ASLR, CFG, and Windows Exploit Protection system-wide and per-application mitigations.

Prerequisites

• Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016+ with administrative privileges
• Group Policy management access for enterprise-wide deployment
• Understanding of memory corruption attack techniques (buffer overflow, ROP chains)
• Test environment for validating application compatibility with exploit mitigations
