Rensome / malware protection
What is the best way to protect an office (1-server ,7 computers)
from getting hit with rensome and other malware?
a device (firewall) that scans all incoming packets?
I'm looking for an automatic solution , I know there isn't 100% but close to that will be fine.

Most of this comes via email and people opening emails from strangers.
The best defense for this is a really good Spam Filter.
Once opened you need top brand Anti Virus, but sometimes people clicking on strange email may still cause problems.
Train your users.

John is right.
Also it's good to have Antivirus that has good web protection so that if someone opens a malicious link then it might get blocked.
Otherwise backup, backup and backup.

I have trend Micro and it got it.
I need something on the level of packet filtering. so even someone is trying to open a file it will block.
The virus/malware rensome got through the trend micro which is installed on every workstation and server.
When I ran malwarebyts it found lots of spyware. so the trend micro isn't very efficient.

Packet filtering is pretty much ineffective against normal email which is what ransomware uses. Spam filtering is much more effective
Alonig1, with such a small crowd of computers, you should definitely look at application whitelisting:
