Author: Jennifer Walker

Categories: Cybersecurity, Security Preparedness

Sophos has written a blog post detailing six best practices from an updated version of its report on endpoint-related best practices for protecting against ransomware. The best practices include: turning on all policies and features of an endpoint, regularly reviewing the endpoint’s exclusions, enabling multi-factor authentication, ensuring endpoints are up-to-date and protected, maintaining general IT hygiene, and proactively hunting for adversaries within your network. Sophos provides further detail in the report here. Additionally, Sophos recently published similar tips for securing the network from ransomware along with it’s 2023 Threat Report.
