Windows Defence Application Control aka Device Guard

Device Guard has the following requirements:

Hardware Requirements

UEFI Native Mode Windows 10/2016 x64 SLAT and Virtualization Extensions (Intel VT or AMD V) TPM

Windows Features

Windows Defender Application Guard (Isolation mode prior to 1703)

Hyper-V Platform (Not required after 1603)

Hyper-V Hypervisor

GPO Settings

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Guard

Turn on Virtualization Based Security (enable)

Secure Boot and DMA Protection

Enable Virtualization Based Protection of Code

Deploy Code Integrity Policy (enable)

C:\DeviceGuard\SIPolicy.p7b

(C:\DeviceGuard\SIPolicy.p7b is automatically copied and converted to C:\Windows\System32\Codeintegrity\)

From PowerShell execute Invoke-CimMethod -Namespace root/Microsoft/Windows/CI -ClassName PS_UpdateAndCompareCIPolicy -MethodName update -Arguments @{filepath = "C:\Windows\system32\CodeIntegrity\SIPolicy.p7b"}

The system will create SIPolicy.p7b and a reboot will enforce Device Guard.

To create a Device Guard Policy run the following.

<# .Synopsis

.Description

.Version #>

#Sets Working Folder for DG $CIPolicyPath = "C:\DeviceGuard"

#C:\DeviceGuard\InitalScan.xml $IntialCIPolicy = $CIPolicyPath+"\initialScan.xml"

#C:\DeviceGuard\SIPolicy.p7b

$CIPolicyBin = $CIPolicyPath+"\SIPolicy.p7b"

#C:\DeviceGuard\CIPolicy.txt - Output from initial policy audit $CIPolicyTxt = $CIPolicyPath+"\CIPolicy.txt"

#Creates SIPolicy.p7b based on the IntialCIPolicy.xml New-CIPolicy -Level FilePublisher -Fallback Hash -FilePath $IntialCIPolicy -UserPEs 3> $CIPolicyTxt -ScanPath C:\

#Enforces UMCI Set-RuleOption -FilePath $IntialCIPolicy -Option 0 #Enforcement Mode enabled Set-RuleOption -FilePath $IntialCIPolicy -Option 3 -delete

#Converts the audit to a p7b file copies to C:\DeviceGuard\

#GPO is set to move SIPolicy.p7b to C:\Windows\System32\CodeIntegrity ConvertFrom-CIPolicy -XmlFilePath $IntialCIPolicy -BinaryFilePath $CIPolicyBin

#Enable DG to enforce Invoke-CimMethod -Namespace root/Microsoft/Windows/CI -ClassName PS_UpdateAndCompareCIPolicy -MethodName update -Arguments @{filepath = "C:\Windows\System32\CodeIntegrity\SIPolicy.p7b"}
