Exploit Prevention

The Exploit Prevention component tracks executable files that are run by vulnerable applications. When there is an attempt to run an executable file from a vulnerable application that was not performed by the user, Kaspersky Endpoint Security blocks this file from running. Information about the blocked launch of the executable file is stored in the Exploit Prevention report.
