Ransomware

[reystar]

Hello,

what is a good way of protecting my office server from Ransomware? I was doing daily backups on an always plugged in USB but it got hit too (no i cant plug it in and out every day)

Will a NAS help? is CrashPlan better solution? Maybe Macrium Reflex HOME edition that has this Ransomware protection is just enough?

Office environment? Why not use Software Restriction Policy software?

Office or business environment is better protected when using default-deny model of protection.

Windows' native SRP. "Free", but unmanaged.

I highly recommend, though, If you like, AppGuard. Although, AppGuard is expensive and it's yearly-subscription-based.

There are also enterprise-grade products from Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Emsisoft, etc. You may want to look at them.

What about VoodooShield? That solution would be better than a NAS Backup or a CrashPlan backup?

Yes, that can also be considered. You may try it. It's a great default-deny, "computer-lock" application.

Haha yeah, i edited the post!

Would that solution be better than a NAS or CrashPlan backup? or should both be used?

Would a NAS mounted drive be affected by a ransomware? Like my USB did

I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with those. But since they may be backup software, then of course consider them.
