If you want to add the filter to all controllers, not just select ones, you can add it to the "global filters". You do this in Application_Start() in your Global.asax.cs file:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

    // Register global filter
    GlobalFilters.Filters.Add(new CustomFilterAttribute ()); // ADDED

    RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
