Security Counselor

Your security portal for QNAP NAS

Check, scan, and secure

With elevated security threats spreading over the Internet, the Security Counselor checks for weaknesses and offers recommendations to secure your data against multiple attack methods. Security Counselor also integrates anti-virus and anti-malware software to ensure the complete protection of your QNAP NAS. With these features, Security Counselor helps secure your NAS and gives you extra peace of mind.

  • Choose from three default security policies and run a manual/ scheduled security checkup. You can also customize your own security policy.

  • You can scan for viruses or malware in the Overview. Anti-virus and anti-malware software can be installed in the Security Applications.

  • Edit your security settings and stay up-to-date by reading QNAP Security Advisories to learn more about how you can protect your NAS and data.

A dashboard for staying ahead of security threats

The dashboard provides an overview of Security Checkup and major security components of the NAS. You can enable/disable components, check the last operation dates, read reports on the same screen, or select to run a specific function/component with a single click.

Set a preferred security policy, or customize it to your needs

Based on the security requirements of your network environment, you can choose one of the three default security policies (Basic/Intermediate/Advanced). The Security Checkup function will use your selected policy when it scans your system. You can also configure your own policy by selecting the Custom security policy.
