QNAP recently presented Qutscloud C5.2, a New update of its well -known operating system for NAS in the cloud that introduces a very important novelty, because it represents a great advance at security and protection level, Security Center.
This update It also introduces other interesting improvements and of value that we are going to review in this article. It is already available, and can be downloaded in just a few seconds safely.
What is Security Center and why is it so important?
As many of our readers will know, ransomware is a type of malware that “kidnaps” the storage units of infected equipment and figure the files they contain, preventing the user can access them, then and then Ask for a rescue in exchange for giving us the “key” to free them.
If we do not have a backup of that data we will see each other in a very dangerous situation, especially if among the violated data were important files for the correct functioning of our company, and for our customers. A ransomware attack can cost a company a lot of money, and can end up ruining its image.
Qnap is aware of this reality, and that is where Security Center comes into play, a Proactive security application which is responsible for constantly supervising the activities of the NAS files in the cloud, and offers a very effective protection against one of the most dangerous and problematic security threats for any company, the ransomware.
This is how this application works:
- Actively monitor activities in the NAS files.
- Automatically executes proactive measures, such as backup or blocking, if suspicious behavior is detected in a file.
These measures drastically reduce risk of ransomware attacks, and also the impact of other types of cyber -cyber threats that can endanger our company’s data, and as we said are actively and permanently applied.
Other novelties including Qutscloud C5.2

- Daemon SMB acceleration technology in kernel mode, It improves the performance of transfers made under the SMB protocol between NAS and the cloud.
- Backup and flexible restoration of system configuration, which allows us to make the system backup including network configuration and access permits. During the process we can also restore, selectively, certain components of great relevance, such as permits or network configuration.
