These three simple steps will dramatically reduce your ransomware risk.

 1. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication on your identity provider (Microsoft Active 
    Directory, Google Workspace)
 2. Enable Enterprise Sign-In/Single-Sign-On/SAML on all your applications. Disable***
    all*** local accounts including admin
 3. The remainder applications which don’t support single identity? Fix them or Fire
    them (or see me for an authenticating reverse proxy to keep them alive).
