Securing your QNAP NAS is important to protect your data and prevent unauthorized access. QTS 5 includes several security features by default, including firewalls, anti-virus software, and network access controls. However, it's important to configure these features properly and to stay up to date with security updates.
QNAP's Security Counselor app provides guidance on security best practices and can help identify potential security vulnerabilities. Malware Remover and McAfee are anti-virus and anti-malware programs that can help protect against malicious software. QuFirewall is a firewall that can be used to control network access to your NAS.
If you do not plan to use QNAP's cloud service, you can disable it and configure your network access controls to limit access to your NAS from the internet. You should also change the default administrator password and create separate accounts with limited privileges for other users.
If you have a Norton subscription, you can use it instead of McAfee, but you will need to manually install it on your NAS.
It's important to keep in mind that no security measures are foolproof, and you should always have a backup strategy in place to protect against data loss.
