Kernel Data Protection (KDP) Coming To Windows 10

Microsoft is bringing Kernel Data Protection (KDP) to Windows 10. Currently it's being tested with Windows 10 Insider builds.

Kernel Data Protection (KDP) is a new technology that prevents data corruption attacks by protecting parts of the Windows kernel and drivers through virtualization-based security (VBS). KDP is a set of APIs that provide the ability to mark some kernel memory as read-only, preventing attackers from ever modifying protected memory.

More information and technical details about KDP can be read from Microsoft security blog.
