windows defender credential guard

Windows Defender Credential Guard is a built-in security feature in Windows 10 and Windows 11 that protects stored credentials like NTLM password hashes and Kerberos tickets using virtualization-based security. By isolating these secrets from the operating system, it helps prevent malware or attackers from extracting them from memory. This tag covers setup guides and discussions about enabling Credential Guard for enhanced protection against credential theft, particularly for users involved in work, remote access, or domain sign-ins.
