Abstract
A security agent configured to initiate a security agent component as a hypervisor for a computing device is described herein. The security agent component may then determine pages of the memory which include identified memory locations and set privilege attributes of those pages to prevent specific types of access to the memory locations, such as executing code stored at a memory location. Also, the security agent component may refrain from setting intercepts for pages including a whitelisted memory location. Further, the security agent component may set intercepts for debug registers, note read operations from the operating system for those registers, and respond with operating-system-permitted values. Additionally, the security agent component may set intercepts for instructions for performing write operations on control registers.
