One of the best protection strategies you can use to prevent malware attacks on your business is to make your site and network less vulnerable than others. By identifying and eliminating underlying vulnerabilities, you can make your network harder to attack, causing the attacker to move onto the next target. Consider making your machines less vulnerable by installing missing patches, changing vulnerable configurations, and tightening up web applications.
