Build Your IT/OT Cyber Defense with QNAP

From data protection to operational resilience

QNAP aligns with NIST CSF to help organizations build a visible, defendable, and recoverable defense—bridging IT and OT through integrated storage, networking, and security.

Top 5 IT/OT Cybersecurity Trends for 2025

  • The IT/OT network boundary Is disappearing

    Production equipment, surveillance systems, corporate servers, and cloud data are increasingly interconnected, allowing IT attack vectors to reach operational environments.

  • Data integrity replaces pure defense

    Organizations must look beyond outer defenses to safeguard data integrity and traceability.

  • Proactive detection becomes essential

    Cyber defense is shifting from the edge to the internal network—detecting and containing ransomware threats before they spread laterally.

  • Recovery resilience becomes a competitive advantage

    High availability and multi-site failover are no longer backups—they are essential for uninterrupted operations.

  • Global standards guide implementation

    Frameworks such as NIST CSF, IEC 62443, and ISO 27001 have become universal languages for cross-industry cybersecurity governance.

For most organizations, the challenge in OT security isn’t cost—it’s turning strategy into action.

That’s why QNAP makes cybersecurity achievable with cost-efficient, easy-to-deploy solutions that help businesses build a visible, controllable, and resilient IT/OT defense architecture.

From Storage to Security – QNAP as Your Core Defense

QNAP transforms years of expertise in storage, networking, and security into a unified protection platform that defends every layer—from IT infrastructure to OT endpoints.

  • Centralized visibility:Gain complete control over accounts, devices, network, and data access.
  • Layered protection:System security, immutable storage, and internal threat isolation through network segmentation.
  • Active threat detection: Identify abnormal activity across devices, traffic, and file activity.
  • Rapid response:Real-time alerts and remote mitigation to stop threats before they spread.
  • Resilient recovery:High availability and disaster recovery ensure business continuity.

How to Build IT/OT Cyber Defense with NIST CSF — The QNAP Approach

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is the global benchmark for IT and OT resilience. QNAP integrates NIST CSF principles across its NAS, networking, and security solutions—empowering businesses to see clearly, protect effectively, and recover quickly.

  • Identify

    Use QuWAN Orchestrator and Organization Center for unified asset visibility and account governance.

  • Protect

    Deploy WORM, Firewalls, MFA, Air-Gap, and VLAN/ACL segmentation for multi-layer protection and enhanced resilience.

  • Detect

    Monitor device health via AMIZcloud, analyze network behavior with ADRA NDR Switch, and guard the edge with QHora routers featuring IPS defense.

  • Respond

    Combine Notification Center, AMIZcloud, and QuWAN SD-WAN for cross-site alerts, remote remediation, and fast containment.

  • Recover

    Ensure high availability through HA clustering, MC-LAG, and multi-node WAN failover, supported by snapshot protection and comprehensive backup/recovery to restore integrity after disruption.
