  • How do you keep the Controllers secure?
    On top of the regular updates we carry out to the servers, we apply an intrusion prevention service which limits multiple attempted login attempts and blocks the offending IP addresses for a period of time. We also apply firewall rules across our Web Application Firewall service that we use from both AWS and Cloudflare. We offer guidance on you setting up the MFA for your unifi controller, (this is completed at unifi.ui.com with your Unifi account). MFA is also strongly recommmended to be set up on your illumifi account.
