Preventing the spread of Wannacry and similar ransomware involves several crucial steps: 1. Patch Management: Regularly updating and patching software to close vulnerabilities. 2. Cyber Hygiene: Educating users about phishing and safe email practices. 3. Network Segmentation: Isolating critical systems to prevent the spread of malware. 4. Backup Systems: Regularly backing up essential data to ensure recovery without paying the ransom. These measures are akin to vaccination, quarantine, and public health education in controlling infectious diseases.
