With the rise of Ransomware, attacks are becoming more prevalent, and even the best NAS systems are not immune to them.
Much of the industry has come together to combat this threat, but you can prevent your NAS Storage from becoming an easy target and a source of funds for your attackers.
To fully protect your data, you need layers of security to prevent ransomware attacks.
This guide will show you how you can limit the risks of ransomware attacks.
Make regular backups
Your company’s Enterprise NAS Storage system is a critical business asset. Unfortunately, ransomware attacks can not only impact your productivity and profitability, but they can hold all of your company’s essential data for ransom. Time and time again, we see companies hit by ransomware attacks running out of luck when they don’t have any backup copy of their data.
Backing up software can save untold amounts of money for your business while reducing your lost productivity time-outs.
Make off-site backups of your NAS Storage.
The best ways to stop ransomware attacks are to avoid getting infected in the first place and, if an attack does occur, have an easy-to-deploy solution that will automatically restore all of your files safely. If you don’t already have backups in place, NOW is the time to act.
It would help if you had a simple off-site backup solution to get you back to work immediately. This way, when the inevitable happens, you’ll emerge from it unscathed. All your data is safe and sound, ready for you to access at speed when you need it most.
Always Keep a Cloud Copy
Drive clouds are one of the safest ways to manage your most critical business data. It protects you from cyber-attacks, keeps a copy of your Network Attached Storage – with almost no configuration required, and is constantly updated.
Always have a backup of your data in a cloud through online providers like AWZ, Veeam, or Microsoft Azure. In case of ransomware infection, you can restore them quickly from there.
Use a VPN for remote access
The easiest way to keep your company data safe is to disconnect your NAS Storage from the internet in the first place. However, if you do need remote access, always use a VPN.
You won’t access the NAS Storage device directly if you have a VPN server installed. Instead, you will be connecting to the router. You will be treated by the router as if you were directly connected to the NAS Storage.
Bottom Line
These are only some of the ways you can ensure better-quality protection for your NAS Storage device. In addition, we recommend checking out StoneFly for their SSO NAS solutions loaded with Encryption based on AES 256-bit encryption algorithms, deduplication, WORM volumes, and much more.
