Best practice configuration for preventing Ransomware on Windows workstations ?

People,

All of my workstations and the servers are running Sophos Endpoint Security and Control v10.7 while the Management Server is running Sophos Enterprise Console version 5.2.2

Can anyone here please share some tips and steps on how to configure Sophos Policy to prevent Ransomware for all Servers and Workstations?

Thanks in advance,

S.E

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?
