Ok looking for some help setting up a small business network. This network will have approximately 5 Windows PCs, a couple network printers, and maybe a network storage device.
This network will not have the need for remote users. All devices will be located in one building.
I was recently the victim of a ransomware attack (even though a highly rated antivirus/antimalware program was installed, running, and up to date). I believe they got in through Remote Desktop, which I will no longer have a need for.
I'm sure there are a million opinions on this, but I'm looking for info on what hardware/software I should potentially look into. I don't need to go CRAZY, but want to make sure this does not happen again. All permanent devices will be connected via ethernet cable, but I would like wifi access as well. So what do I need as far as firewalls, routers, switches, etc? I understand these can be standalone products or combinations.
I do have some experience with basic networking, but am not looking to dive down a rabbit hole of a crazy setup. Something fairly easy to set up but able to keep me protected.
Hopefully there is enough info here. Let me know if there is something you need to know to better assist in answering this question.
Also, not sure how much this matters, but this is just a small office workgroup. This will not be part of a domain. There is no AD server (or any server).
My access to the Internet is via a standard cable modem.
