Securing a FAT32 disk in domain

Guest

I have a client who has a NAS which only runs the disk in FAT32. How do I
secure this device to limit access? Right now I know that FAT32 won't support
NTFS type security and that the only security the device/share has right now
is a local signin/password. Other than just junking this device and replacing
it, is there a way to secure access to this files on its drive?

Thanks for your help.

Convert the file system to NTFS.

Question is do you need FILE LEVEL SECURITY? If not you can restrict by
share permissions only
