Riot Games anti-cheat featuring a boot-start kernel driver for early visibility into later-loaded drivers, boot-time initialization, driver allowlisting, and aggressive system trust checks. Used by Valorant and League of Legends.
Early load timing changes the BYOVD/test-sign window relative to runtime-loaded ACs (Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye). Research often pairs Vanguard with FACEIT AC discussions on kernel integrity.
