Ransomware8-How Windows Defender prevents Ransomware

Native Windows Ransomware protection works better than any 3rd party endpoint protection 

How Windows Defender Ransomware protection works

Step 0 Turn on Windows Defender Ransomware protection(Start   > Settings  > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection> Manage ransomware protection> Controlled folder access. )

Step 1 Windows Defender will identify malicious software/process/access

Step 2 Performing  access control to protect controlled folders based “unfriendly applications” and block all unwanted file access

Why this protection is unique

First, none of the antiviruses works if a new breed of virus(Ransomware) spread

Second, the last defense line will be native access control from OS
