The premise of VBS is that if an isolated process or application is attacked, the attack cannot spread outside of the VM. An attacker cannot exploit a vulnerability in one process to steal data from another application or seize the whole computer with ransomware, for example.
Virtualization-based security (VBS) is a technology that abstracts computer processes from the underlying operating system (OS) and, in some cases, hardware. It isolates these processes from one another, with the goal of protecting the operating system and device against malware and other attacks.
Virtualization-based Security (VBS) uses hardware virtualization and the Windows* hypervisor to create an isolated virtual environment to host security solutions, providing protection from vulnerabilities in the operating system. To find out if VBS is running on your system, follow the example below.
