Windows Adds Ransomware Defenses But Backups Still Key
-
Windows Security app includes ransomware protection features like Controlled folder access to restrict app access to key folders.
-
Turning these features on provides extra defense against ransomware attacks.
-
Logging into OneDrive enables file backups that allow recovery if ransomware encrypts files.
-
Additional offline backups are still recommended for best protection.
-
Balancing security and convenience means occasionally allowing access to blocked apps or saving files elsewhere.
