\"Sicherheit[German<\/a>]Both Microsoft and the vendor Tenable have addressed the question of how to better protect corporate environments against cyberattacks and ransomware infections in blog posts. I have summarized the relevant information in the following post.  <\/p>\n

Microsoft's advice on hardening the environment<\/h2>\n

\"\"In the blog post 7 ways to harden your environment against compromise<\/a>, Microsoft not only links its Microsoft Compromise Recovery Security Practice<\/a> (CRSP), but also provides seven tips for improving security.  <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Patch faster <\/li>\n
  2. Actively protect devices <\/li>\n
  3. Reduce attack surface from the Internet <\/li>\n
  4. Reduce privileges for users <\/li>\n
  5. Leverage the power of the cloud <\/li>\n
  6. Reduce \"technical debt\" <\/li>\n
  7. Look at your logs and respond to alerts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While these are generalities and the details can be read in the linked article. On the \"patch faster\" point (within 48 hours if possible), I had somethingwritten about that in the blog post Microsoft touts top-notch monthly Windows update efficiency<\/a>. And regarding the smart advice from point 7 to look at the logs, I refer Exchange administrators to the following tweet<\/a>. <\/p>\n

    Looks like Microsoft needs to start with itself and clean some things up. <\/p>\n

    I came across the following tweet<\/a> from security provider Tenable, which suggests 6 steps that can protect against ransomware attacks.  <\/p>\n

    \"Tenable<\/a><\/p>\n

    This document provides the following six tips on what to do to protect against ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Scan frequently and all IT systems for signs of ransomware<\/li>\n
    2. Harden and specially protect Active Directory (AD) against attacks<\/li>\n
    3. Reduce privileges of users in the IT environment<\/li>\n
    4. Prioritize, because you can't patch everything<\/li>\n
    5. Eliminate vulnerabilities in IT – but completely <\/li>\n
    6. Measure the measures via appropriate metrics<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
