NAS Ransomware Protection

No tool makes a NAS immune to ransomware. Layers reduce risk and damage.

Layers that help

• Keep firmware and apps updated
• Disable unused services and do not expose the NAS to the internet
• Use strong unique passwords and two-step sign-in
• Give users least-privilege access
• Use snapshots with protection where supported
• Keep offline or off-site backups

Where monitoring helps

Monitoring does not stop ransomware, but sudden capacity changes, unusual device behaviour or a device going offline are signals worth alerting on. The audit trail shows configuration changes made through the tool.

Recovery readiness

Test restores regularly. See the 3-2-1 rule.
