Explanation

DLL Security is the Exploit Protection Module (EPM) designed to prevent attacks that abuse OS-level functions by controlling how Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) are loaded. It blocks techniques such as DLL hijacking and DLL side-loading, where attackers place malicious DLLs in locations where legitimate processes will load them. The other options-Memory Limit Heap Spray Check, UASLR, and JIT Mitigation-target different attack vectors (heap spray attacks, address randomization, and just-in-time compiler exploitation, respectively).
