Is shadow defender as secure as a VM ?
Yes, but it's a different concept, a VM is a totally virtual OS running on the real OS (for malware testing it must be isolated from the real OS) and you can also reboot it, instead with Shadow Defender the real OS is virtualized and secure and when you exit from Shadow Defender you return to the real OS, please keep in mind to encrypt and hide important files when you test malware with Shadow Defender. If you use a VM don't keep important files in the VM.

Aren’t there malware “out there” which break virtualization? I’m sure there must exist exploitable cves for all forms of virtualization
