A user reports unusual behavior on their workstation, including missing files and unauthorized access attempts. Upon investigation, you discover that a keylogger has been installed.
What is the most effective method to mitigate the risk of keylogger attacks in the future?
Change user passwords frequently without any other security measures
Disable all firewall settings to allow unrestricted access
Encourage users to open email attachments from unknown sources
Install and maintain an antivirus and anti-malware solution
Implementing antivirus and anti-malware solutions is an effective way to detect and remove keyloggers. These tools can continuously monitor for malicious software, including keyloggers and ensure that the system is scanned regularly to identify threats before they cause significant damage.
Inadequate awareness training about suspicious downloads may not address the underlying vulnerability effectively.
