Ransomware prevention refers to a spectrum of products, services and best practices that must work together to prevent ransomware attacks from successfully entering an organization’s systems and encrypting its resources. The most effective ransomware protection is multi-layered, encompassing advanced email protection, cloud archiving, flexible point-in-time recovery, continuity solutions that provide continuous access to email during and after attacks, DNS authentication services such as DMARC, security awareness and endpoint protection.
