Best practice configuration for preventing Ransomware on Windows workstations ?

Hello S.E,

please see the Ransomware: Frequently asked questions (it also contains a link to the prevention advice article near the bottom).

As there isn't 100% protection assume that you might get hit, make sure your data is backed up and that you can restore it within a reasonable time.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the reply. my SQL server was hit by the Locky & Osiris ransomware even though it is running Sophos client v10.7, so I wonder what sort of policy or tweak do I need to implement?
