Hey Community,
Credential Guard or commonly known as Credential Theft Protection is a component of Sophos Central Intercept X and Exploit Prevention.
LSASS(Local Security Authority Sub System) is a process in Microsoft's Windows Operating Systems which is responsible for enforcing the security policy on the system. It verifies the validity of the users logging to a machine/server, manages passwords and is responsible for generating access tokens.
Credential Guard shields the LSASS(lsass.exe) process against injection and force read access from unauthorized process. It has been designed specifically to prevent any attempt of harvesting or stealing user credentials directly from memory.
