EMET is a program package for Windows created specifically to allow users apply security mitigation technologies to their development projects. The provided components are designed to make sure that hackers are not able to exploit weaknesses in any supported application.

Goal

The toolset gives you the possibility to integrate aforementioned concepts using a simple and intuitive graphical interface without additional recompilation. This is especially convenient if you would like to deploy mitigations on software that was written before these policies were available to the public and when the source code is not accessible.

Apply security tech

Thanks to the high degree of granularity, you are able to incorporate mitigations on a per process basis. This is extremely helpful in situations where a process is not compatible with a particular security technology. In such cases, you can simply disable the utility.

It is necessary to mention that this distribution contains mitigations designed for older Microsoft OS editions such as XP, Vista, and 7. However, these developments are also available on the down-level. Thus, you have the option to benefit from these technologies without the need to upgrade to the latest supported Windows version. If you want to create cross-platform applications for computers, tablets and smartphones, you may use another program called MyEclipse.
