Snapshots for ransomware resilience – Ubiquiti NAS research report

In the fight against ransomware, every extra security mechanism aimed at preserving and shielding backups from attack can be helpful in ensuring you have a viable recovery point.

We tested the latest NAS offering from Ubiquiti, and scored the Ubiquiti NAS a 5.5/10 for cyber-resilience. While this score may seem low, in reality we believe this device offers good “bang for buck” and is far superior to the common practice of backing up to a Windows share (which scores 1/10).
