Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) is a freeware security toolkit for Microsoft Windows, developed by Microsoft. It provides a unified interface to enable and fine-tune Windows security features. It can be used as an extra layer of defense against malware attacks, after the firewall and before antivirus software.
EMET is targeted mostly at system Administrators but the newest version is supported for any Windows user running Windows 7 and later, or Windows Server 2008 R2 and later, with .NET Framework 4.5 installed. Older versions can be used on Windows XP, but not all features are available.
Microsoft has announced that EMET will reach end of life on July 31, 2018. The successor to EMET is ProcessMitigations Module.
