<\/a><\/p>\nWeb Console Security<\/h2>\n
We will start with the best ways to safeguard the Web console since it allows you to fully control backup and recovery jobs and your backup storage.<\/p>\n
Administrators<\/h3>\n
The root administrative account that is set in the tab Settings \/ General has full access to all resources of your MSP360 Managed Backup. We do not recommend you to share this account.<\/p>\n
Instead, if you need to give access to the Web console to anyone from your team, go to the Users tab and, in the Administrators section, create additional administrative accounts with limited functionality.<\/p>\n
There you can create accounts with granular permissions for various features of the MSP360 Web console. We recommend giving the minimum appropriate set of permissions to your administrative accounts.<\/p>\n
Two-factor Authentication<\/h3>\n
In MSP360 Managed Backup you can enable two-factor authentication for all administrative accounts. To do that, go to the tab Settings, section General, and click the \u201cEnable 2FA\u201d checkbox. You will need to install Google Authenticator in order to be able to use it. This should be done for all administrative accounts separately.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIP Whitelisting<\/h3>\n
Another security feature, IP whitelisting, allows you to narrow the range of IP addresses that can get access to your Web console. To enable it, go to the Settings tab and click \u201cIP Whitelisting\u201d. This feature is especially useful if your team works in the same area or you have noticed suspicious activity from a given range of IP addresses.<\/p>\n

The latest versions of the MSP360 Backup software contain new and enhanced features, stability, and security updates.<\/p>\n
Once the new version of the software is out, you will see a message on the main screen of your Managed Backup Web console, and on the Downloads slide-in. You will then need to create a new custom build.<\/p>\n
To do that, click \u201cGet newer version\u201d or \u201cGet More\u201d and select the needed builds in the slide-in. In a couple of minutes, your builds will be ready.<\/p>\n
Use Unique User Accounts<\/h3>\n
User accounts serve to authenticate your customers\u2019 computers with the Managed Backup service. It\u2019s best to use one or more user accounts per customer. You can set up user accounts by going to the Users tab. Don\u2019t forget to secure them with a strong and unique password.<\/p>\n
