It is usually combined with endpoint protection platforms, called EPP , which are something like enterprise-class antivirus tools. CrowdStrike Falcon Prevent combines antivirus with other prevention technologies such as EDR (Falcon Insight) for endpoint visibility and Falcon Discover to identify and eliminate malicious activity.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) : For remote access, remote desktop protocol (RDP) no longer can be considered safe. Instead, organizations should use a virtual private network (VPN) solution. Backups: Although more commonly applied to endpoints and data, networks also benefit from periodic backups of settings and configurations.

After cleaning all remnants of the attack from the network, security experts recommended password resets for all privileged, non-privileged, and service accounts, as well as two-factor authentication (2FA) for VPN and email access. Despite having completely rebuilt their systems from backup, the ransomware was never fully remediated.

Patch management has been one of those essential security features – much like backup – that typically doesn’t get the attention it deserves. No need for complex infrastructure or VPN requirements. Choose how patching interacts with devices anywhere through Wake-On-WAN, device booting, do-not-disturb events, and maintenance windows.
