Detect and stop targeted ransomware activities
The QNAP ADRA series Network Detection and Response (NDR) appliances selectively screen network traffic and detect malware lateral movement, stopping hostile activities before data leakage and encryption can occur.
You need new defenses against new attacks
We are honored that you use QNAP devices to store your valuable data. Unfortunately, this makes QNAP NAS, along with other servers and services in your local network, a large target for attackers to attempt to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information stored within. With an increasing number of targeted ransomware cases encrypting personal and business data, it is time to thoroughly re-assess your existing information security measures.
What is targeted ransomware?
Targeted ransomware gains access to local networks using one or more techniques. Its modus operandi is complex and hard to detect. Once the perimeter is penetrated, ransomware can silently reside in local networks for a long time, gradually infecting all devices. Eventually you would only uncover the malware when the actual attack takes place, which is already too late. Manufacturing, government, and education are among the top three sectors that fall victim to targeted ransomware.
When your storage server has been encrypted by ransomware…
That can mean a lot of things. First, the malware has been laterally moving under the radar for quite some time. It has been able to penetrate all the way to the most critical part of your IT infrastructure, which is a serious issue. Second, your conventional security appliance next to the core switch is not detecting malware activities happening at a lower level of the network topology. And the performance degradation (caused by complete traffic scanning) makes it impractical to connect performance-demanding NAS and other storage servers to the conventional security appliance.
The threats of targeted ransomware
The QNAP solution: ADRA NDR appliances
The ADRA series NDR appliances are QNAP's answer to targeted ransomware. We started by building a solution to protect QNAP NAS from such threats, but it can also be used with other NAS and storage server brands.
Threat detection: uncover hostile activities in time
Threat analysis: yield valuable insights for further actions
Threat response: stop and contain malware attack right away
Use QNAP NAS to rapidly restore affected data on computers/servers when attacks occur
If ADRA NDR detects a high-risk network attack, IT staff can isolate and scan affected computers/devices. QNAP NAS supports Snapshots to help protect data and files from targeted ransomware, and they should be used as part of a 3-2-1 Backup Strategy to ensure that data can be quickly restored to a healthy state in the event of an attack. Restorations only take a few seconds to complete, ensuring minimized business downtime.
