Category: Product / Can I protect a NAS with NeuShield?


Currently, NeuShield Data Sentinel only protects files on local fixed drives. However, for NAS devices you can work around this by connecting the NAS device to a Windows Server and running NeuShield on that Windows Server.

Here are the steps for that:

  1. Connect the NAS to Windows Server using iSCSI.
  2. Mount the NAS as a new drive letter on your Windows Server.  This will make the NAS appear on the server as a local drive.
  3. Install NeuShield on the Windows Server.
  4. Add the folders from the NAS drive letter from step #2 as protected folders in NeuShield.
  5. Configure sharing in the Windows Server to share out the protected folders from step #4.
