I run Norton 360 on my Windows 10 PC:
I have a Western Digital My Cloud 3TB NAS attached to the computer via USB, and attached to my network wirelessly. On a daily basis, I receive a notification from my ISP (Xfinity) of an IP Reputation threat to my NAS device. I check my firmware version, reboot the device and scan it for malware. The IP address being attacked is inside my home network. I have been told that a NAS can be the weakest security link on a home network.
The purpose of this device is to access it when I am not home. Therefore, I am seeking guidance on how to protect the device, while maintaining access to it using the client application on my smartphone. Is this a problem requiring a firewall solution? Please advise. Thank you.
