Abstract
Techniques are provided for device protection using pre-execution multi-factor authentication of a process. One method comprises obtaining, by a software entity associated with an operating system kernel of a processing device, a request to execute a process on the processing device; performing, by the software entity, a first authentication of the process that evaluates a first set of information of the process; performing, by the software entity, a second authentication of the process to obtain a verification result, wherein the second authentication of the process evaluates a second set of different information of the process; and allowing the process to execute on the processing device based at least in part on the verification result. The second set of different information may comprise a name of the process, an identifier of the process and/or an identifier of a given processing device that will execute the process.
