Techniques to protect against Cryptoware
Hello Experts - I've been following the rise of crypto viruses for a while now, it seems like lately they are everywhere. Even worse, some companies are paying these guys which is only going to bring more. I was hoping to get some advice on how to configure the tools I have available to best prevent these things from encrypting my files. I'm using a Barracuda spam firewall, Websense Web Filter, Trend Micro antivirus, and a Fortinet 90D firewall. I'm running a Windows domain and use group policy though I haven't configured anything specific to deal with this. Right now I'm working on getting all the software and firmware on the latest versions and once that is done I'd like to see what else I can do prevent an infection. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
