Mac mini security

In that case what I’d do is:

  1. (as others have suggested) Disable UPnP on your gateway device.
  2. Religiously keep everything on your network patched.
  3. Adopt a backup strategy that ensures that a regular (preferably rotating) backup is always off-line and in no way accessible by any actions that can be made on any of your computers. This is the surest protection against ransomware.
  4. Test your backups regularly.
  5. Encrypt everything.

As far as anti-malware software goes, that’s a tricker recommendation. My view is that if you’re absolutely positively convinced that you don’t need it, that’s probably a good sign that you do :slight_smile: (On a server that’s never used as a desktop, the need is lower, in my opinion)
