Lab: Configure Data Execution Prevention (DEP)

SY0-701 Objectives 2.5 & 4.1 — Host & Application Hardening

Scenario. You are the security technician at Tamarack Logistics. On the dispatch workstation DSP-WS-04 you must enforce Data Execution Prevention for every program and service. One legacy app, ManifestPro 3.6 by Holloway Software, crashes under strict DEP, so it needs an exception. Your tasks: turn DEP on for all programs and services, add an exception for manifestpro.exe, commit the change, then restart DSP-WS-04 so DEP takes effect.
