Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 888807, member: 32260"] Back to the topic.:) As one could see from my discussion with [USER=62850]@danb[/USER], the WD free (default settings with BAFS + SmartScreen) cannot be especially effective in enterprises. They have much bigger attack area due to exploits and local network vulnerabilities. Several effective solutions are known which include among others: [LIST=1] [*]Software/system updates (can be painful due to backward compatibility and costly because of software licenses). [*]Using strong security with ATP and Network Intrusion Detection including behavioral analytics (deep packet inspection). [*]Data encryption and backup. [*]Applying the principle of least privilege (or more restrictive strategies like 0-tolerance policy). [*]Security training courses for staff. [*]etc. [/LIST] See for example how Microsoft Treat Protection can fight the attacks on the servers: [URL unfurl="true"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/the-science-behind-microsoft-threat-protection-attack-modeling-for-finding-and-stopping-evasive-ransomware.101691/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
