Tips to Prevent Linux Ransomware Attacks​

When it comes to ransomware, it’s much more cost-efficient to invest in prevention than remediation. Adopt server security best practices to prevent ransomware attacks and financial losses from happening. Take a look at them:

• Update software regularly.
• Remove single points of failure by backing up critical data and diversifying the storage media.
• Control user access and implement a Zero Trust security strategy.
• Set up Linux security extensions for controlling and restricting access to data and resources.
• Use network segmentation to minimize the reach of a potential ransomware attack.
• Use a Secure Email Gateway (SEG) solution.
• Set up an anti-malware program.
• Adopt a strong password policy.
• Create a secure email policy.
• Educate your team about the risks and threats of ransomware.
• Set up a network monitoring strategy.
• Conduct vulnerability assessment and penetration tests.
• Regularly inspect event logs to identify anomalous behavior.
• Create system backups and include immutable backups.
• Set up IP filtering, an intrusion detection system (IDS), and an intrusion prevention system (IPS).
• Deploy Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) to ensure quick recovery in case of an attack.
• Ensure servers and endpoints are up to date with the latest security patches.
• Have a robust incident response plan.
