Data security is a key aspect for professional users and also for home users. We are increasingly exposed to a greater number of threats and data encryption is crucial to keep our files safe, whether local or in the cloud.
NAS provide a simple way to have our own private data storage system. Specifically, QNAP has its application myQNAPCloud from where you can centralize access to the data stored on the NAS from anywhere and also synchronize it with third-party clouds.
Now, this application has integrated an extra security system that is capable of encrypt data before it is uploaded to the cloudin such a way that no one can access them, even if there are attacks directed at third-party services that may be compromised
From the application itself, which can be accessed through the QNAP web interface, it is possible to configure encryption and create a private encryption key. Naturally, that key must be stored securely, since only the user will know this key and neither QNAP nor other companies will be able to access the data.
