Battlefield started out using PunkBuster, one of the earliest kernel-level anti-cheats. With Battlefield 4, they used FairFight, a statistical server-side solution, alongside PB.
With Battlefield 1, they dropped PB, and operated with just FairFight.
And now, EA have decided to create their own kernel-level AC, called EA AntiCheat, and are implementing it on BF5 and BF1, largely because FairFight was not enough.
