Windows 10 has involved a powerful paradigm shift in designing the operating system as a product, but in spite of its robustness, problems have arisen several times due to the appearance of vulnerabilities and failures after updating it . Since Panda Security warn that recently, the alarm has jumped due to the E xploitGuard CFA File Creator, a Windows tool that allows the user to monitor the changes that some types of software can make on the files contained in a folder, especially to control possible unwanted access and avoid possible attacks from programs that are not considered reliable.

According to the demonstration by cybersecurity expert Soya Aoyama , a malicious DLL can be introduced so that when Internet Explore runs it is possible to insert ransomware into the protected folders , something that Windows Defender has not been able to detect in your system. On the other hand, after being warned of the cybersecurity problem, the company did not develop any patches , which could be catastrophic for the companies, since if the malicious DLL arrives in the protected corporate folders, the ransomware in chain could affect all the company.

How to prevent the appearance of vulnerabilities in Windows 10

From the blog specialized in cybersecurity, they provide some essential keys to address the vulnerabilities in Windows 10 :

• Put cyber-resilience into practice : Cyber-resilience is the most recommended faculty within a company to be able to protect itself against the multiple and increasingly sophisticated online risks. However, 90% of companies claim not to be cyber-resilient.  To reverse this dangerous trend, it is important that cybersecurity becomes a strategic epicenter , training all employees in depth, establishing clear protocols to significantly reduce risks -through prevention, detection and proactive threat search, containment and response. reduction of the attack surface-, recycling and awareness work .
• Having 360 security solutions:  It is fundamental that cybersecurity software can detect potential vulnerabilities in the entry points, as well as endpoint requests, achieving complete monitoring of cyber attacks and undesired accesses from discovery and vulnerability planning to the installation and monitoring of patches and updates .
• CFA Review: If a business device suffers an intrusion through the ExploitGuard CFA File Creator it is essential to perform a thorough review to know what applications have been granted permission . This way you can remove the unreliable software from the whitelist.
• Periodic updates : All programs and applications must be updated in due time,  since 99.96% of active vulnerabilities in corporate environments have pending updates .
