Should it detect a login classified as suspicious by the trained model, it will notify the user and store an entry in the log for the system administrator.<br \/>\nWhen the user is notified, they can terminate the suspicious session, and proceed to set a new password. The administrator can also take action, like disabling user accounts or forcing users to pick a new password.<br \/>\nOf course, the solution is designed to protect privacy and all data remains on your server!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"read_more\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/blog\/nextcloud-16-becomes-smarter-with-machine-learning-for-security-and-productivity\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Machine learning based suspicious login detection\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMore in our announcement blog <i class=\"fas fa-angle-right\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(document).ready(function ($) {\n\t\t\t\t\t$('#features_carousel_6af93acab5099').owlCarousel({\n\t\t\t\t\t\tloop:false,\n\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplay: false,\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmargin:30,\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdots: false,\n\t\t\t\t\t\tnav:true,\n\t\t\t\t\t\tnavText : ['<svg id=\"Layer_1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 14.299 22.409\"><path fill=\"#fff\" class=\"st0\" d=\"M11.25,21.205L1.25,11.205,11.25,1.205l1.8,1.8L4.85,11.205l8.2,8.2-1.8,1.8h0Z\"\/><\/svg>','<svg id=\"Layer_1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 14.299 22.409\"><path fill=\"#fff\" class=\"st0\" d=\"M3.05,21.205l-1.8-1.8,8.2-8.2L1.25,3.005l1.8-1.8,10,10L3.05,21.205h0Z\"\/><\/svg>'],\n\t\t\t\t\t\tresponsive:{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t0:{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\titems:1\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t600:{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\titems:2\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1000:{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\titems: 3\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\t\tonInitialized: function (event) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Remove role=\"presentation\" from arrows\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$('.owl-prev, .owl-next').removeAttr('role');\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$('.owl-prev, .owl-next').attr('tabindex', 0);\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Move .owl-nav before the .owl-stage-outer (which contains the items)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconst $owl = $(event.target);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconst $nav = $owl.find('.owl-nav');\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconst $stageOuter = $owl.find('.owl-stage-outer');\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$nav.insertBefore($stageOuter);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1793265920838{margin-top: 0rem !important;padding-bottom: 3em !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;why_section&#8221;][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; el_class=&#8221;text-right&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-xl-inherit vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-sm-inherit&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"section--paragraph__title\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Security hardening<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"section--paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Nextcloud employs a wide variety of extra security hardening capabilities, including:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;0px&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1789045307119{padding-top: 3rem !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xl-inherit vc_col-lg-inherit vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-12&#8243;][vc_tta_accordion style=&#8221;modern&#8221; active_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; active_title_color=&#8221;#666&#8243; inactive_title_color=&#8221;#666&#8243; section_title_tag=&#8221;h5&#8243; gap=&#8221;4px&#8221; c_icon=&#8221;chevron&#8221; c_position=&#8221;right&#8221; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221; el_class=&#8221;nc_tabs_vertical differentiators_accordion&#8221;][vc_tta_section use_svg_icon=&#8221;yes&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Content Security Policy 3.0&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;content-security-policy&#8221; svg_icon_id=&#8221;342826&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"iconbox_container \">\n<div class=\"title_and_description\">\n<div class=\"description\">\n<p>CSP is a HTTP feature that allows the server to set specific restrictions on a resource when opened in a browser.
