What happened and what to do
In a post dated June 24, 2026, Riot announced Vanguard On-Demand. According to the post, the anti-cheat system can run only during gameplay if Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, VBS, HVCI, and IOMMU are enabled. The change may reduce the need to keep an anti-cheat driver running from startup by relying on hardware security features.
Companies managing computers can take a similar approach by reviewing when security agents and drivers need to be active and which device controls are prerequisites. A project could inventory Secure Boot, TPM, and virtualization settings, monitor compliance, and alert on deviations, without assuming the same policy fits every device.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose device exposure and configurations, scope an on-demand security policy, and implement inventory, monitoring, and alerts on the client’s infrastructure.
