Ransomware and Malware Prevention
An important part of the Dolce Vita IT Solutions process is involved with protection of your data. A key component of every cybersecurity design is ransomware and malware prevention. This generally includes a means to monitor the business network to detect and automatically install the required antivirus and other endpoint protection. Import aspects of malware prevention are:
Use of endpoint protection recommended best practices
Dolce Vita updates our processes and procedures as endpoint protection software manufacturers update and publish their best practices…this maximize the protection their software provides
Best practices are documented and lab tested, then implemented with our clients
Key settings adjustments are documented properly
Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is configured to identify all software installed, and if a device is added to the network, endpoint protection is automatically installed
Email security has a significant effect on malware risk
Reputable email security vendors will publish updated best practices. 75+% of ransomware attacks originate via email so proper email security is paramount
Email security best practices are documented and implemented quarterly
Email system policies should enforce the use of strong, complex passwords
Email management must include enforced use of multifactor authentication (MFA)
User access to email should include the use of multifactor authentication
Use of private email (Gmail, etc.) by users in the office should be prohibited
Antivirus and endpoint protection management
Remote monitoring and management is configured to automatically install antivirus and endpoint protection when new devices are placed on the network
Weekly or bi-weekly reviews of anti-malware systems ensure any problem trends are addressed early
Monitoring and real-time alerting by endpoint management provides exceptional protection
Remote monitoring and management (RMM) has the capability to disconnect a ransomware-infected device from the network automatically to halt infection spread and ransomware activity
