Many attacks rely on exploiting vulnerable, signed drivers to gain kernel access. HVCI mitigates this by validating code integrity, even for signed drivers, ensuring they aren't manipulating system memory improperly. Here's a high-level overview of how HVCI works:

stands for Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity . It is a critical security feature built into modern versions of Microsoft Windows (Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016/2019/2022).
