Direct injection of malware code into memory is easily done, and eludes both traditional anti-malware applications running on end points as well as application whitelisting. An application like a browser is whitelisted to execute but it doesn't stop a website drive-by infecting it and then chaining a command string to subvert the machine.

This is a real and active problem for enterprises that is only recently being addressed comprehensively, using edge, network, device and application behaviour to detect, isolate and remediate the infection that may be sending information from your PC without any obvious symptoms.

So any improvement in consumer endpoint security, that starts to recognise and address the impact of advanced and persistent threats, should be applauded, regardless of the OS or the vendor.
