How can we stop ransomware files from executing if it is downloaded?!
hi guys,
Is there anyway of stopping Ransomware files from being executed? We've got Watchguard firewalls, Symantec.cloud for emails, yet I've seen ransomware files slip through the net and get opened.
Is there a free way of doing Ransomware prevention? Or if there are paid ones, any recommendations?
Cheers

Then why not use my recommendation but instead foolish IT? You don't need 3rd party software when you have a domain.
Those mechanisms are called "software restriction policies" (for the professional version of windows) or "applocker" for the enterprise or server version of windows.
