General Security Steps?
Hello all, Our Polycom system was hacked into recently, and it resides on the same network as our ReadyNAS. I’ve fixed the vulnerabilities on the Polycom, but am now worried about the ReadyNAS Pro ...
Thank you for your helpful reply, StephenB. I will look into a VPN. We do use mapped drives, so I guess I should look into how to access the NAS easily without mapping them. Thank you for the suggestions.

Xeltros, thank you for your suggestions. We are just a small office with only a few machines, and I'm just technical enough to keep out of trouble most of the time. I don't understand how to do much on the command line beyond changing permissions, so the fail2ban and iptables may be beyond my abilities.
I'll look into the items you mention and see if any look simple enough for me to understand. We have a Airport Extreme as our router, which has the word Firewall on one of the tabs, but it seems like you're talking about a more advanced Firewall system?
