Hardening Windows 10 to prevent Cryptolocker incident ?

Hi All,

Can anyone please share some tips and configuration tweaks to harden the Windows workstation (10 & 8.1) to prevent Cryptolocker ?

I'm sure that I've seen or heard the MS policies and settings which can lock down what files can run from which locations, but I can't recall it anymore.

If there are any 3rd party tools which can detect encryption activity, that'd be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks.

OK, I guess it is combination of both Symantec Endpoint Protection Antivirus (all features enabled) and also the Malwarebytes or any toerh 3rd party anti spyware software is the most practical way to do.

Does the EMET tool can be deployed or executed to my existing AD domain with no additional license ?

BTan,

If I deploy EMET on the domain joined server, I assume that I do not have to pay additional license for it ?
