A kernel level driver runs at the operating system kernel level. It is difficult for user mode software to penetrate and bypass kernel level drivers. Kernel level drivers also improve performance when compared to user level drivers. PGP Endpoint Device Control installs a kernel level driver to intercept device access and binary execution requests at the kernel.
