Ransomeware and anti exploit software

Hello,
In the last month we were hit with Ransomware that cause me to restore from backups and then yesterday another computer got hit with the Ransomeware/malware your Win 10 edge has malfunction called technician.
We are currently using Sophos antivirus and I need to get a second level of defense for above because i am told Virus scanners do not pick up Ransomeware infections most of the time.
I want to put into production asap and was wondering if you had any suggestions.
I have 20 - Win 10 users and 5 total Servers running  Win 2012/2008r2.
Thanks

Kcassone,

correct me if i'm wrong but it seems to me the issue is not the ransomware virus but rather browser plugin hijacking the browser. It's important to know because the approach would be different, i wrote an article exactly about browser plug ins that appear as viruses. If the issue is a virus then there are good suggestions from fellow experts, if the issue is an browser plugin then you have to concentrate hardening the browser application to prevent the plugins from installing and running.

i hope it helps.
