What is Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit?

The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) is a utility that leverages security mitigation technologies to help prevent vulnerabilities in software from being successfully exploited. These technologies function as specialized protections and obstacles that an exploit author must overcome to exploit software vulnerabilities. While these mitigation technologies do not guarantee that vulnerabilities cannot be exploited, they work to make exploitation as difficult as possible to perform

Highlights

  • Utilizes security mitigation technologies to protect against software vulnerabilities
  • Implements specialized protections and obstacles to hinder exploit attempts
  • Does not guarantee prevention of exploitation but increases difficulty for attackers
