This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on August 2, 2016 at 3:02 pmAsustor Inc. announced ADM 2.6.3 core upgrades for all company’s NAS devices.
In addition to providing a solution to security vulnerabilities by upgrading the core SAMBA and OpenSSL versions, ADM 2.6.3 also strengthens ADM account security be adding the two-step authentication function.
After configuration of the function, in addition to an ADM account password, users will also need a phone verification code to sign in to ADM. Now, even if their account password is stolen by malicious parties, users can still ensure the security of their accounts with this additional layer of protection. ADM 2.6.3 also supports two free push notification services in Pushbullet and Pushover.
Both are available on multiple devices, across different platforms and major Web browsers.
These two services allow system event notifications to be instantly pushed onto phones, mobile devices or PCs. This can lower the response time for users such as system administrators, increasing productivity.
“Network security issues have always been present and are impossible to ignore. The chances of having an account password stolen is much greater that many people expect, “said Vincent Tseng, product manager, Asustor. “Asustor understands the importance of our users’ data. With regards to data security, we have specifically provided a significant upgrade that offers better protection of our users’ digital assets than ever before.“
In regards to security vulnerability issues, ADM 2.6.3 features an upgraded core which includes SAMBA 4.4 and OpenSSL 1.0.2h version upgrades to strengthen usage security. ADM 2.6.3 is available for use on all company’s series devices.
It is recommended that all users upgrade online in order to receive optimal security and protection.
