Hi voicerjim
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Whilst no system will guanrantee 100% protection against any specific threat WSA is well equipped when it comes to ransomware, given that it has advanced file monitoring & journalling fucntionalities that can be used to undo the effects of such ransomware.
 
Please see this KB Article on the subject and then come back here if you have any further questions.
