Local Security Authority (LSA) protection helps protect against theft of secrets and credentials used for logon by preventing unauthorized code from running in the LSA process and by preventing dumping of process memory.

You can check and change the enablement state of LSA protection in the Windows Security application under the Device Security > Core Isolation page.
