Little to be done at present
As stated in the article, anti-malware is ineffective for infiltration that steganography can provide. Exfiltration of sensitive data will be prevalent as DLP programs have yet to review text within images and even easier, exfiltration of secret messages will be almost impossible to detect.

The Riga Tech University Paper
A great paper that breaks down the basics of steganography is "Development of Requirements Specification for Steganographic Systems" by Dāvids Grībermans, Andrejs Jeršovs, Pāvels Rusakovs from the Department of Applied Computer Science, Riga Technical University, Latvia.  In fact, the breakdown of Message Requirements, Container Requirements and Algorithm Requirements is quite interesting.  Additional requirements covered include Stegocontainer and Security.  Highly recommend this read for the newbie stego.
