How to prevent Ransomware with Essential Firewall Practices?
                     How to prevent ransomware with Essential 
Firewall practices
 Ransomware is an illegal practice of forcing a company 
to pay a fee in return for having their data decrypted. 
Hackers use malware to encrypt a company’s file.
 Ransomware is usually delivered through an email 
attachment or accessing a dangerous website.
Essential Firewall Best Practices To Prevent
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. Backups should be regular – weekly or daily.
  It is necessary to monitor the backup process regularly 
for its proper functioning.
 Safe Browsing:
 Employees and individuals should be 
cautious while opening unauthorized 
websites, emails from unknown 
resources, and open unauthenticated 
attachments.
  They should check the source of any 
downloads and files they receive.
 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.
