【Newsletter#200】Learning How to Protect Your NAS

[Crystal.Y@AST]

We all know data protection is very important. In addition to regularly adhering to consistent 3-2-1 backups, it is also necessary to perform measures that decrease the risk of data loss. We go into more detail about several methods described in a previous newsletter.
1. Ensure ADM is Up to Date:
ADM continues to bring award-winning features with each and every update. But also with these updates come security fixes and patches. In order to help protect data, it is recommended ADM is always at its latest version.

2. Strengthening Your Credentials:
Disabling the admin account and setting a strong password is something that is often overlooked. Many leave the admin account on with a simple password for convenience, but this makes it easier for the account to be broken into. Head to [Access Control -> Local User -> Add] and create a new admin account, set a strong password, and disable the default admin account.

3. Defending ADM with ADM Defender:
Click [Settings -> ADM Defender -> Network Defender] in ADM to enable the automatic blacklist to assist in preventing malicious attacks and login attempts. When any client IP address repeatedly fails to log in more than a specified number of times within a specified time, the IP address of that user will be automatically blocked.
