Prevent the arrival of emails containing file extensions commonly employed to distribute malware. To minimize the risk of malware and unauthorized activity, it is advisable to implement firewall and proxy configurations that limit the ability of company assets to establish arbitrary internet connections.

Restrict the usage of remote-access software unless it is absolutely necessary for an individual’s job. Alternatively, implement stronger monitoring measures to identify any potential misuse. This software is a favorite among cybercriminals, especially IABs and ransomware operators, as it allows them to easily gain and retain access to networks.

We should disable ISO mounting since it has become an increasingly effective method for evading antivirus or endpoint detection systems.

To enhance security, it is crucial to implement USB access control as well as Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to effectively prevent any unauthorized execution of autorun commands. If business conditions permit, it would be prudent to consider disabling access to any removable media.

Provide comprehensive training for your staff to effectively identify social-engineering tactics that are commonly utilized on the web. Additionally, ensure that your team has an accessible and appropriate channel to promptly report any suspicious emails or other potentially malicious activities they come across.
