Level Up your Ransomware Protection Security

Category : Uncategorized

Ransomware remains top of mind for businesses as it continues to make headlines in 2023, with malicious actors targeting companies across the globe for infection and then extorting them for large sums of money. The seemingly random, indiscriminate attacks from criminal or state-sponsored ransomware groups means that preparing for an attack is one of the things keeping IT department managers up at night. Ransomware response policies are being written from the perspective of “not if, but when” due to the rapid pace of evolution and use of zero-day exploits as a means to drive profit into the pockets of criminals.

End-user training campaigns for phishing awareness can mitigate the risk of a perimeter breach, but persistent attempts from advanced or state-sponsored attackers can leverage remote exploits that don’t require user interaction. The first line of defense for any device or system on a network is the network itself. Following security best practices for endpoint and perimeter security is the foundation of ransomware protection. When properly configured on a secure network, Cloud Backup further protects your data from ransomware.

Cloud Backup offers multiple levels of protection against ransomware, including snapshots, native encryption, authentication, and containerization, just to name a few. 

Below, we’ll identify some best practices for securing and hardening your Data and Infrastructure against a malicious actor attempting to deploy ransomware.

Set up Recurring Snapshots for your Data

Multi versions copy-on-write OpenZFS snapshots, which prevent data in the snapshots from being encrypted in a ransomware attack. Use the Data Protection EDR Solution to configure Secure Network.

Cloud Backup with Recurring Snapshot tasks. Because only changed data is saved, snapshots can be taken frequently, giving you a shorter Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for your continuity plans.

Set a Long Retention Time on your Snapshots

As selected Cloud Backup data and snapshots are stored in a copy-on-write manner, the overhead of retaining multiple layers of snapshots is significantly reduced compared to traditional filesystems. With Tools, daily or weekly snapshots can be held for months or years.

Set Separate Administrative Passwords

Having two identical copies of your data on different systems is good; having two identical administrative passwords on different systems a little less so. Using different passwords on different systems can prevent a single credential compromise from impacting multiple storage systems, and ensures that replicated copies of data remain secure.

Use Pull Replication

When configuring replication, the direction of replication implies the direction of authentication. When properly configured, pull replication means that your second Data server doesn’t automatically trust your primary server. Even if a malicious actor compromises an administrative user on the primary storage, there is no path for it to authenticate against the second server and remove the replicated snapshots there.

Increase your Snapshot Retention Times on the Destination System

When configuring the pull replication task, set the retention time to a Custom value. Increasing the retention time, based on the available capacity of your secondary system, will allow you to retain an even greater number of snapshots for more granular and longer-term recovery.

Configure Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Administrators

To help safeguard against accidental compromise of an administrative account, set up two-factor authentication on your source and destination systems.

PTZ, Focal length and Field of view

Category : Uncategorized

Pan – The movement of a camera in the horizontal direction or x-axis.

Tilt – The movement of a camera in the vertical direction or y-axis.

Zoom – Enlarge or reduce the focus by changing of the effective focal length thus allowing many fields of view. It can be an optical zoom where adjustments are made to the lens or it can be a digital zoom whereby we electronically magnify a select portion of the view.

Focal Length – This is the distance from the optical center of a lens to the image of an object located at an infinite distance from the lens. Long focal lengths give a small field of view and vice versa.

Field of View – This is the measure of the visible area within the camera’s field of view. The larger the focal length, the smaller the field of view and vice versa.

The Best Security Cameras for Protecting Your Home

Category : Uncategorized

Protecting your home, loved ones, and your property begins with choosing the best security cameras and video security system that enables you to keep watch over your home 24/7.

How do you choose the best security cameras for your home? In this blog post, we highlight the various types of security cameras, along with the features and benefits most advantageous to providing effective home security.

Bullet Cameras

Bullet security cameras are also referred to as lipstick cameras or bullets, due to their slim, tubular shape. Bullet cameras are available in analog CCTV, HD-TVI (HD analog) and IP technologies, as well as various megapixel options – ranging from 1.3 megapixels, to 5.0 megapixels and higher.

Bullet cameras are popular choices for monitoring the perimeter of a home. An outdoor bullet camera can be mounted under the eaves of a roof to gain a clear view of a front yard, back yard, driveway, or other outdoor area.

A vandal-resistant bullet security camera typically features an impact rating that provides protection against physical impact from vandals at various strike distances.

Advantages of Bullet Security Cameras

  • Cost-effective cameras for monitoring your home
  • Available in indoor and outdoor models
  • Easy-to-install
  • Many feature multi-axis brackets that allow you to easy adjust the camera angle

Dome Cameras

Is a dome camera the best security camera for protecting your home? Dome security cameras are self-contained cameras that feature a rugged dome enclosure that covers the camera lens. Dome cameras are easy to install, and look good in nearly any type of home environment—indoors and indoors. Dome cameras are available in multi megapixel, high-resolution options—as well as the latest analog, IP, and HD-TVI security technologies.

Dome cameras equipped with wide angle lenses enable you to better monitor large areas, such as driveways, front yards, backyards, and open areas. The camera lens’ wide field-of-view covers a larger area than a standard lens, and provides greater depth of field, along with better low light performance.

A dome camera with Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is beneficial for monitoring hallways, doorways, and other areas that are subject to diverse lighting conditions. WDR balances the contrast of light and shadow, enabling the camera to produce perfectly exposed, clear video in bright, dark, or backlit areas within a scene.

Many outdoor dome cameras feature an IP66 (or higher) weather-rated enclosure that provides protection from particles such as sand and dust, as well as from inclement weather conditions—including rain and snow.

Advantages of Dome Security Cameras

  • Form factor is aesthetically pleasing and blends well in nearly any home environment
  • Easy-to-install
  • The camera lens angle is obscured, making it difficult for thieves to avoid being caught on camera
  • Most can be wall or ceiling mounted to meet your application needs

Infrared Cameras

Infrared security cameras, also known as IR cameras, provide day-to-nighttime surveillance capabilities, for around-the-clock security.

An IR camera features built-in IR LEDs that enable it to see in the dark. IR security cameras are available in a variety of IR ranges, from 65′ to 100′, and 300′ (and higher), to meet various security application and location needs.

Some IR cameras that operate on 940 nm wavelengths are considered “no-glow” and are virtually undetectable to the human eye. These infrared security cameras are well-suited for covert surveillance, because the traditional red-glow of the IR LEDs is not visible.

Some infrared cameras feature the latest infrared technology, including Smart IR and Full Frame Illumination, which provides enhanced low light performance.

Advantages of IR Cameras

  • Day-to-nighttime surveillance
  • Clear, crisp images in low light and at night
  • Available in 940 nm IR LEDs for no-glow covert surveillance
  • Many of the latest IR cameras offer advanced IR illumination capabilities for better low light performance

Hidden Cameras

Hidden cameras or spy cameras placed throughout the home can provide home owners with enhanced home security.

Installing a hidden camera, in addition to traditional video security cameras connected to a video security system, provides the covert surveillance advantage, and an additional layer of protection.

Hidden cameras are available in a variety of form factors and are hidden inside of common household objects such as thermostats, smoke detectors, flood lights, picture frames, clocks, and AC adapters. Hidden cameras blend in well in nearly any home environment and are virtually undetectable.

Hidden cameras are ideal for catching criminals and thieves whom are unaware that they are being watched. And, because the criminals cannot see a hidden camera, they are less likely to be able to vandalize or tamper with the camera to disable it, and avoid being captured on video.

Home owners also install covert cameras to monitor nannies, caregivers, and service providers—and protect loved ones.

Hidden security cameras are available in wired and wireless options and resolutions to meet a range of application needs.

Advantages of Covert Cameras

  • Provide the covert surveillance advantage because criminals don’t know they are being watched
  • Provide tampering protection since criminals cannot see the camera to obscure or disable it
  • Provide an additional layer of protection for your property and loved ones
  • Wireless hidden cameras are portable, don’t require hard-wiring and can be easily moved to a different location in the home

Keeping Your Home and Loved Ones Safe

When it comes to protecting your home, your property, and your loved ones, it’s important to choose the best security cameras that enable you to monitor activity around-the-clock.

Our security experts can help you choose the right security cameras for your home, determine the best locations for camera placement, and recommend local professional security installers who can help you install and optimize your home security system.
