They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This allowscustomers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs. They alsoenable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations Guard (DG) and Credential Guard (CG) are the new security features that are only available on Windows Enterprisetoday. Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features.

6 When you configure themtogether, it locks a device down so that it can only run trusted applications. Credential Guard uses virtualization-based securityto isolate secrets (credentials) so that only privileged system software can access them. Unauthorized access to these secretscan lead to credential theft attacks. Credential Guard prevents these attacks by protecting NT LAN Manager (NTLM) passwordhashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting : Processor numbers are not a measure of performance.
