Systems & Storage at Risk

Can ransomware infect a NAS drive?

Yes. Network-attached storage is frequently targeted, both through accessible file shares and through vulnerabilities in the NAS device’s own software. Because NAS often stores backups and bulk data, it is a high-value target.

Elastio supports NAS and filer platforms such as NetApp ONTAP and Qumulo, inspecting inside the stored data to verify it is free of ransomware.
