What is the best protection against cyber threats and ransomware?

Implementing a combination of the following measures can help protect systems against cyber threats, especially ransomware:

1. Regularly back up important data and ensure backups are kept offline or in a separate network to prevent ransomware encryption.
2. Keep software and operating systems up to date with the latest security patches.
3. Use strong, unique passwords and implement multi-factor authentication for an added layer of security.
4. Educate employees on safe internet practices and how to recognize phishing attempts.
5. Install and regularly update antivirus and anti-malware programs.
6. Secure network perimeters with firewalls and intrusion prevention systems.
7. Restrict user privileges to limit access to sensitive data and systems.
8. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity that may indicate a cyber threat.
9. Consider implementing endpoint detection and response solutions.

10. Have an incident response plan in place to quickly address and recover from any cyber attacks.

Remember, these measures should be tailored to the specific needs and risks of your organization.
