Inside Microsoft's plan to kill PPLFault

Microsoft detailed upcoming enhancements to the Windows Code Integrity subsystem designed to prevent malware from tampering with anti-malware processes and critical security mechanisms. The improvements target PPLFault and similar attack vectors that compromise the integrity of protected system services.

Why it matters: Defenders running Windows should monitor these updates to understand new protections for their endpoint security infrastructure; organizations dependent on anti-malware and Code Integrity controls need to validate compatibility and deployment timelines.
