Introduction
In the era of growing cyber security threats, 保護敏感資料已成為個人和組織不可或缺的問題. Controlled Folder Access (CFA) is one of the most effective ways to deal with scenarios involving ransomware and other malicious attacks. This article provides a comprehensive guide on what CFA is all about, its importance implementation and best practices that can be used to enhance it.
什麼是受控文件夾訪問 ?
受控文件夾訪問 是引入的安全功能 視窗 10 並繼續在 視窗 11. 它旨在保護重要文件夾和文件免受未知或潛在惡意應用程序未經授權的更改. 啟用後，受控文件夾訪問會監視並限制對指定文件夾的訪問，從而針對勒索軟件和其他類型的惡意軟件添加額外的保護層.
This Windows 10 introduced security feature aims at protecting valuable data by limiting access to certain folders. It does this by monitoring protected folders thereby stopping unauthorized applications from altering any files within these folders. This ensures that ransomware attacks, data breaches or any other forms of malware induced data loss are reduced using proactive approaches
默認情況下，受控文件夾訪問可保護對操作系統正常運行至關重要的系統文件夾. 其中包括文檔等文件夾, 圖片, 視頻, 音樂, 收藏夾和桌面. 但是，您還可以將其他文件夾添加到受控文件夾列表中，以便保護您的個人數據和其他重要文件.
每當應用程序嘗試進行未經授權的更改或訪問受保護文件夾中的文件時. 受控文件夾訪問將在以下位置生成通知 Windows安全. 您可以查看這些通知，並確定是否應允許該應用程序訪問, 您可以將其添加到允許的應用程序列表中. 這樣，只有受信任的應用程序才能修改或訪問受保護文件夾中的文件.
受控文件夾訪問是一種主動安全措施，有助於防止對重要數據進行未經授權的修改，為您的文件和文件夾添加額外的保護層.
如何在 Windows 中使用受控文件夾訪問 10/11?

- 該文件夾將被添加到受控文件夾列表中，並且對該文件夾內的文件進行任何未經授權的更改都將被阻止.
- 您還可以通過以下方式管理允許的應用程序 “允許應用程序通過受控文件夾訪問” 選項. 單擊它然後單擊 “添加允許的應用程序。” 選擇您想要允許訪問受保護文件夾的應用程序，然後單擊 “打開。”
從現在起，未經授權的應用程序修改或訪問受保護文件夾中的文件的任何嘗試都將在 Windows 安全中觸發通知. 您可以查看這些通知並採取措施，以進一步增強文件的安全性.
Benefits of Controlled Folder Access
Controlled Folder Access (CFA) is a security feature that Microsoft recently introduced in Windows 10. it has several advantages for your files and data protection against unauthorized access and ransomware infections.
