<p>I can't comment about Symantec vs. Bitdefender, but one big thing
to do to defend against any kind of malware, which hopefully goes
without saying, is: <br>
</p>
<p>Load all the updates. As soon as possible after they come out.
All computers and other network-connected devices. OS, software,
firmware.</p>
<p>Another good idea is to use Cisco Umbrella (formerly called
Umbrella by OpenDNS), which you can use for free through OPLIN:</p>

<p>This can be used to filter web content, which we don't do, but it
also has a category for blocking malicious web sites -- that's the
only category we block. I've seen this service block links that
people click in phishing emails.</p>
<p>That's not a comprehensive list of ways to protect against
malware, of course.<br>

<div dir="ltr">We are currently using Symantec Endpoint
Protection. We purchase it from Techsoup and have used it for
several years becasue it is cheap. I was looking at Bitdefender
and was wanting to know if anyone has an opinion about Symantec
vs. Bitdefender. I was informed from a consulting company that
Bitdefender has some protection against ransomware.

<div>Also, what steps are your libraries taking to protect
against ransomware?</div>
