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.
