Cyber Crime Never Sleeps – Neither Does ADM Defender
|
|
|---|
|
In today’s digital age, cyberattacks and malicious login attempts are escalating at an unprecedented pace. A single data breach or unauthorized modification can lead to devastating and irreversible losses if backups are not kept. Even when backups are kept, time is wasted recovering data as well. Not only is a NAS is more than just storage, it is also the frontline of data security. With that in mind, ASUSTOR introduces a new level of protection with ADM 5.0 and its brand new ADM Defender.
ADM Defender delivers three powerful layers of defense to safeguard your business-critical data:
• Trusted List – Ensure uninterrupted access by whitelisting trusted IP addresses. Even with repeated failed login attempts, your administrative access remains secure.

|
• Intelligent Protection – Automatically block suspicious IPs with an adaptive blacklist. Activate IP risk detection to identify and instantly stop connections from risky sources. |
|
|---|
|
• Firewall – Define who can connect to your NAS with advanced firewall settings. Allow or deny access based on specific IPs, ranges, or regions. Default profiles like “LAN only” and “Regional Internet only” make setup effortless, while custom rules offer ultimate flexibility. |

With just a few clicks, ADM 5.0 empowers you to defend against cyber threats, block malicious logins, and safeguard sensitive information and ensure your NAS remains a trusted fortress for your data.

At ASUSTOR, our commitment to data security is first and foremost. To keep your data safe, we continuously update all aspects of our software. Updates prioritize information and data security first. This notice announces the end of partial feature support for affected NAS devices starting from ADM 5.0 due to the termination of vendor driver and/or software support.
- Certain video formats will no longer be supported
Updated libraries in ADM are not compatible with the ffmpeg patches provided by Realtek. This affects NAS ASUSTOR NAS devices running Realtek CPUs. Which means hardware-accelerated transcoding will no longer be supported after upgrading to ADM 5.0. Only video formats natively supported by the browser will remain playable, while transcoding commonly used formats may not play properly.
- USB IP printer support will be discontinued
Regrettably, components of the USB drivers in the following NAS models are incompatible with ADM 5.0. This means USB IP printer functionality, that is, connecting to a USB printer plugged into an ASUSTOR NAS through ASUSTOR Control Center, will no longer be supported in ADM 5.0. Only network printer functionality will be available.
Affected devices: Drivestor (AS1102T, AS1104T), Drivestor Pro (AS3302T, AS3304T)
