Proper backup system?


Well yes that's obvious, I meant more along the lines of:

Are there any ways to detect and stop it from happening in 2017? Third party software? New group policies from MS?


Not really, ultimately if someone has write to your network drive, it's not any different than malware having it. The best solution is a good backup and protecting your hosts from being infected as much as possible.

I believe some people were trying to do rate limiting and traversal detection, which should be possible, but also is common in many tools, like running grep or find on a network share, so it's far from a perfect solution. It could also probably be avoided by clever malware if it were to be widely deployed.
