[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 915203, member: 88422"] There is no question that Microsoft very much continues to support features and software that it has "deprecated" in it security guidance and best practices. Microsoft officially no longer supports Windows 8.1 thru XP or Server 2012R2 thru 2003, and yet there's literally millions of companies that still use those OSes and Microsoft still maintains the same security guidance for those companies. And the foundation of that security is ASR, which Microsoft publishes best practices in docs, blogs, Git pages, divisional guidance, and a lot of other ways. Deprecation does not mean much in Microsoft parlance. There are items that were deprecated back in the XP era that still ship with Windows. Just because Microsoft says it is deprecating something clearly doesn't mean in practice that it is obsolete or is not to be used any longer. You did know that WDAC is a superset of AppLocker, and that AppLocker is a superset of SRP, and that all three (WDAC, AppLocker, and SRP) are all software restriction policy based security despite Microsoft calling them by different names, right ?
