How to protect your NAS from Ransomware Attack
Over the past few years, ransomware attacks have steadily increased. It is further proven that paying the ransom does not guarantee that all your data will be restored.
In light of this growing threat, protecting your data should be a high priority for every business no matter the size.
NAS and Ransomware Attacks
Your NAS or shared storage is vulnerable to ransomware. This includes consumer and prosumer NAS storage (QNAP, Synology) to enterprise NAS and shared storage (e.g. Avid Nexis, Isilon, Qumulo, SNS, Editshare, Quantum etc.).
Since NAS storage is the de facto storage for most, if not all of an organization’s data, ransomware attacks are often focused on the NAS. Ransomware attacks on NASs are largely focused on encrypting data by accessing mounting storage volumes. Once the data is encrypted, users are unable to access their data.
