filingbox/giga repository overview

⁠Introduction

⁠FilingBox GIGA

FilingBox GIGA is a network storage protection solution that protects the data of professionals managing large amounts of data or AI/OT/IoT devices generating sensitive data from ransomware and data theft malware using standard Samba file servers. Users can set the operation mode for folders to read/write mode, read-only mode, add-only mode, or list-only mode. When set to read/write mode, it allows both reading and writing like a regular storage device; however, when set to read-only mode, the folder operates in read-only mode, preventing file creation, modification, or deletion, allowing only viewing. When set to add-only mode, only new file creation is possible, and viewing, modifying, or deleting is not allowed. When set to list-only mode, the file list can be viewed, but not only is new file creation blocked, but viewing, modifying, and deleting of existing files is also prohibited.

⁠What is Folder-Level Storage Protection Technology? (International Standards and GS Certification)

Folder-Level Storage Protection Technology is a method for protecting data within network storage (Samba file servers), which has become a primary target for malware attacks. This technology safeguards data on Samba file servers from the latest ransomware and data theft malware that cannot be prevented by existing network protection and endpoint protection technologies. With this technology, users can set the operation mode for folders on the Samba file server (read/write, read-only, add-only, list-only).

⁠Port requirements based on operating environment

For FilingBox GIGA server to function properly, ports 443 (HTTPS) and 445 (SMB) must be available.

• Port 443 (HTTPS): Used for accessing the FilingBox GIGA server’s web interface and API.
• Port 445 (SMB): Required for file-sharing functionality.

Make sure that these ports are allowed through your firewall and network settings as needed.

Depending on your network environment, additional firewall configurations may be required, so please adjust accordingly while considering security policies.

⁠Data backup and recovery

FilingBox GIGA does not include standalone backup and recovery features, except for granting the administrator account access to the backup drive.

To ensure data protection, you should establish a backup and recovery policy, such as copying user files to a separate storage location. For more details, refer to Changing Administrator Account Backup Drive Access Permissions⁠.
