Abstract
Techniques are provided for device protection using pre-execution command interception and user authentication. One method comprises obtaining, by a software entity associated with an operating system kernel of a device, a request from a user to execute a command; determining, by the software entity associated with the operating system kernel, prior to an execution of the command, whether the command is a command of a designated command type; initiating a multi-factor authentication of the user in response to determining that the command is a command of the designated command type; and initiating an execution of the at least one command based on a result of the multi-factor authentication of the user. The determination of whether the command comprises the command of the designated command type evaluates command properties and/or command criteria. The command may be compared to a protected list of commands of the designated command type.
