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.

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.

Malwarebyts is very good but the most important thing is Backing UP the data on a regular basis.
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:

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.
