Buffalo TeraStation NAS Firmware Update with 2-Factor Authentication Security Feature

Buffalo Americas Inc. issued the release of a firmware version that brings the 2-factor authentication (2FA) feature for the TeraStation 3020, 5010, 6000, and Essentials network storage devices.

2FA is a security feature that can add a layer of protection for user login credentials to secure data on the company’s NAS vs. cyberthreats such as hackers and ransomware.

Credential theft has been on the rise in recent years, and refinement in social engineering and brute-forcing techniques by threat actors means a strong login password alone is no longer an acceptable security barrier. Using 2FA is good cybersecurity hygiene practice as it ensures that user login information cannot be compromised by a threat actor, especially if user is logging in remotely, and can improve data security for NAS.

The firm urges its customers to visit the product pages for their respective TeraStation devices and download and install the latest firmware version to enable 2FA for their NAS. Visit the Knowledge Base for instructions on enabling 2FA for TeraStation network storage for maximum security.

As a provider of network storage with over 40 years of industry experience, the company takes data security seriously, which is why it works with MSPs to make sure they provide their customers with NAS purpose-built for data protection. It urge you to take proper precautions in maintaining security of your data and systems.
