As someone in the industry, would you mind weighing in on Vanguard, the kernel level anti-cheat used for Valorant?

On release they made a big deal about how small the kernel level portion is and how most of the complexity of the anti-cheat was still in user space. I'd be interested to hear how true that is and if that makes much of a difference in your mind how trustworthy it is.

I don’t have the code for that and it might require my studio to open a deal with vanguard to get access to the source.

Generally speaking though; the size of the components that run in the kernel is not important. The kernel mode software can act as a window to the rest of the system.
