[Exploit protection](exploit-protection.md) helps protect devices from malware that uses exploits to spread and infect other devices. Mitigation can be applied to either the operating system or to an individual app. Many of the features that were part of the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) are included in exploit protection. (The EMET has reached its end of support.)

In audit, you can see how mitigation works for certain apps in a test environment. This shows what *would* have happened if you enabled exploit protection in your production environment. This way, you can verify that exploit protection doesn't adversely affect your line-of-business apps, and see which suspicious or malicious events occur.

36+
## Generic guidelines
37+
38+
Exploit protection mitigations work at a low level in the operating system, and some kinds of software that perform similar low-level operations might have compatibility issues when they're configured to be protected by using exploit protection.
39+
40+
#### What kinds of Software shouldn't be protected by exploit protection?
41+
42+
- Anti-malware and intrusion prevention or detection software
43+
- Debuggers
44+
- Software that handles digital rights management (DRM) technologies (that is, video games)
45+
- Software that use anti-debugging, obfuscation, or hooking technologies
46+
47+
#### What type of applications should you consider enabling exploit protection?
48+
49+
Applications that receive or handle untrusted data.
50+
51+
#### What type of processes are out of scope for exploit protection?
52+
53+
Services
54+
55+
- System services
56+
- Network services
57+
58+
## Application compatibility list
59+
60+
The following table lists specific products that have compatibility issues with the mitigations that are included in exploit protection. You must disable specific incompatible mitigations if you want to protect the product by using exploit protection. Be aware that this list takes into consideration the default settings for the latest versions of the product. Compatibility issues can introduced when you apply certain add-ins or other components to the standard software.

## Sample queries
67+
68+
You can use this table to get detailed information on processes invoked in a cloud environment. The information is useful in hunting scenarios and can discover threats that can be observed through process details, like malicious processes or command-line signatures.
69+
70+
You can also investigate security alerts provided by Defender for Cloud that make use of the cloud process events data in advanced hunting to understand details in the process tree for processes that include a security alert.
71+
72+
### Process events by command-line arguments
73+
To hunt for process events including a given term (represented by "x" in the query below) in the command-line arguments:
74+
75+
```kusto
76+
CloudProcessEvents | where ProcessCommandLine has "x"
77+
```
78+
79+
### Rare process events for a pod in a Kuberentes cluster
80+
To investigate unusual process events invoked as part of a pod in a Kubernetes cluster:
81+
82+
```kusto
83+
CloudProcessEvents | where AzureResourceId = "x" and KubernetesNamespace = "y" and KubernetesPodName = "z" | summarize count() by ProcessName | top 10 by count_ asc
