Cryptolocker - hitmanpro.alert
I am seeing a beta release of hitmanpro.alert
http://www.surfright.nl/en/alert
Claims to block cryptolocker
How effective is it
Can it be rolled out across a small network (50 Users say)
Will it protect a PC/server if the user opens an infected email or is it just a web browser driven thing ?
( I already know about using software restriction policies and CryproPrevent and many clients have sonicwall gateway and I am seeing some claims that its IPS Gateway security is effective at blocking this - any idea how true this is)
