Hi All, What would you recommend as specific software solutions to protect against Ransomware? In my company we use: - Sonicwall firewalls, and the gateway security component is enabled and is supposed to help block/prevent. - Symantec AV. Not specific to ransom-ware but appears to be reactive. I'm looking at additional layers of security, such as the Barracuda e-mail filter. I used that at past jobs and that reduced the "infected" e-mails considerably. I also have used Malwarebytes enterprise. That has an anti-ransomeware component. I used that in a past job and was not impressed. Malwarebytes sold is an an "enterprise" solution, but it was a stand alone product, had not integration with the management console, no configuration and no notifications. It appeared to be a rush to market. Sophos supposedly has a similar solution specific to Malwarebytes but I have not looked at it yet. Internally, we also have targeted employee training and use a service to send "fake" messages from Amazon/UPS, etc to let them know that they need to be vigilant when reviewing messages from outside the company. Thoughts appreciated.
