What organization exists that allows running unsigned code if they can help it, if they have even a moderate semblance of a security team?
None. Windows Defender makes it difficult to run unsigned code in Windows out-of-the-box. It already exists and doesn’t stop all ransomware, or at least is not used properly.
Also, it’s getting even stronger in recent updates. It’s called “Smart App Control.”

I've never worked anywhere that _doesn't_ allow their engineers to run unsigned code. It's good practice for non-techs, but if your engineers need to be babysat like that, get better engineers.
