Having secure backups of files stored offline is the first line of defense for to defending against ransomware. It’s also important to never open attachments if the sender is unknown–especially if the attachment asks to enable macros. The combination of anti-virus software with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools can help prevent or stop intrusions. An adequate monitoring system that fits the needs of an organization is also very important, this will allow businesses to get ahead of the infection and stop it before important files are compromised. At Binary Defense, our Security Operations Task Force analysts monitor endpoints for signs of intrusions and we alert our clients as soon as any suspicious activity is noticed.
