Formerly Device Guard, User Mode Code Integrity (UMCI) has been renamed to Windows Defender Application Control (WDACto simplify understanding. It is integrated into Windows 10 and defined by policy configuration files. Microsoft states that WDAC should be used together with AppLocker to control what applications and libraries are allowed to be executed.
