Attack Surface Reduction

Attack Surface Reduction (ASR), a security feature of Microsoft Windows 10, forms part of Microsoft Defender Exploit Guard. It is designed to combat the threat of malware exploiting legitimate functionality in Microsoft Office applications. In order to use ASR, Microsoft Defender Antivirus must be configured as the primary real-time antivirus scanning engine on workstations.
