This counter displays the total number of runtime Code Access Security (CAS) checks performed since the start of the application. Runtime CAS checks are performed when a caller makes a call to a callee demanding a particular permission; the runtime check is made on every call by the caller; the check is done by examining the current thread stack of the caller. This counter used together with "Stack Walk Depth" is indicative of performance penalty for security checks.
