It's an escalating war. kernel-level programs basically run at the same level as the OS kernel so they have basically unfettered access to hardware and software to monitor it. It's not foolproof however.
The persons developing cheats can get around it by using the hypervisor in the computer, basically running the game in a virtual machine that they then have near full control over and can feed back to the anti-cheat software any answer they think it expects.
I rarely play online games and even then only with "known persons" (my family) so it's not a large concern for me.
