Minimum requirement for Sophos for preventing Ransomware ?

System Engineer

Hi All,

Can anyone here please confirm if this is all I need to prevent Ransomware with my current Sophos AV module ?

 

Any comments and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    no it won't. It will catch wannacry but won't catch any news variants until the signatures are updated.

    Sophos have released SEC 5.5.0 which allows exploit protection to be used which will stop this.

    Unfortunately, it's another license so it depends on how much you value your business vs the risk.

    We're in the process of buying exploit protection and sandstorm for 2 UTM's which we were looking at prior to the ransomware attack.
