Best Practices to prevent Ransomware
• Reduce the surface area of attack: Check all the ports and eliminate 
any open non-essential ports. Review and check all the port-
forwarding rules. Using a VPN to access resources on the internal 
network from outside rather than port-forwarding.
• IPS protection: Apply suitable IPS protection to the rules governing 
traffic to/from any Windows hosts on your network.

• Minimize risk: The XG firewall and Synchronized security protect 
against threats moving laterally on the network. Segmenting the LANs 
into smaller subnets and assigning them to separate zones that are 
secured by the firewall helps in minimizing the risk.

• Backing up data: A data backup helps to restore the data in case of a 
ransomware attack.  It is beneficial to back up data either offline or 
on different systems in case of an attack. 
• Safe browsing: Employees and individuals should be cautious while 
opening unauthorised websites, emails from unknown resources, and 
open unauthenticated attachments.

• Restricted access: Organizations should restrict access to vital sources 
of data. The more people have access to a system, the more likely it is 
to get exposed to ransomware.
• Anti-virus software: A reliable Anti-virus and Anti-malware software 
should be installed and regularly updated. A good malware software 
scans attachments and URLs and notifies the user of the danger of 
opening the attachment or website link.
