Build A Better World with Data

In today’s modern IT world, data protection is an essential part of business operations. Backups serve as a final line of defense amid ransomware threats, human errors, and large-scale operational disruptions. Companies might face a dilemma. If a company relies only on incremental backups, then in the future any corruption in the backup chain will render all subsequent versions unusable for restoration. If companies need to spend considerable time performing full backups regularly, this would require substantial network bandwidth and storage resources. To help companies solve this dilemma, Synology has developed the SURE (Synology Unified Reduction Engine) technology, which optimizes

IT infrastructure is more than hardware. It's the confidence that expert support is there when you need it most. A well-designed IT infrastructure is almost invisible. Data is always available, applications run smoothly, users can work without interruption, and backups happen automatically in the background. It's only when something goes wrong that the value of reliable support becomes truly apparent. How quickly will the vendor respond to a support request? How long will it take to replace faulty hardware? Can you consult infrastructure plans with technical experts who understand your environment? For organizations where business continuity depends on IT availability,

Bandwidth shouldn't be the bottleneck for cloud surveillance—the key lies in whether the architecture is smart enough. Every layer of Surveillance365 is designed to keep the system reliable under real-world network conditions." ── Barney Yeh, Manager of Video Surveillance Solutions at Synology For organizations managing large-scale video surveillance deployments, controlling bandwidth consumption is a common operational challenge. In bandwidth-constrained environments—such as remote locations, temporary monitoring stations, or sites with high camera density—teams often find themselves forced to trade off between image clarity and network availability. This challenge is even more pronounced for cloud-based VSaaS (Video Surveillance as a Service) deployments.

Modern ransomware doesn't just encrypt your active systems. It now targets your backups before encrypting the rest of your infrastructure. In a recent study, Sophos found that 94% of ransomware attacks target victims' backups first. That makes recovery far more difficult and raises the odds that the victim will pay. Synology's disaster recovery solution maintains an immutable backup that attackers cannot access, modify or delete. The first step toward smooth recovery is to know where you truly stand.   Take a Quick Assessment Your business isn't too small to be a target July is Ransomware Awareness Month. The most dangerous

Cybersecurity threats are no longer reserved for multinational corporations or large financial institutions. AI-powered ransomware attacks, malicious insider activities, and accidental human errors are now affecting organizations of all sizes. According to the U.S. Office of Financial Research (OFR), mid-sized organizations are the most vulnerable to cyberattacks. This creates a paradox for growing and mid-sized businesses as they also face the same issues that affect large corporations: cybersecurity concerns and operational disruption. In comparison to large companies, mid-sized businesses usually have limited IT budgets, smaller teams, and a limited storage space to store devices. When creating their backup infrastructure, teams

71% of MSPs say acquiring new customers is their biggest challenge. One reason is that customer requirements continue to diversify—from deployment preferences and budget constraints to compliance and recovery requirements. Maintaining separate backup platforms to address these needs is rarely practical. As a result, deployment flexibility has empowered MSPs to grow. The ability to support different customer needs with a single data protection platform allows service providers to expand their market share without sacrificing operational efficiency. ActiveProtect: Flexible hardware options for every need ActiveProtect is Synology's all-in-one backup appliance designed to simplify cyber resilience through tightly integrated hardware and software.

“After adopting ActiveProtect, we achieved stronger cyber resilience alongside significant operational simplification and up to 90% time reduction,” Toyota Motor Vietnam, one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers, shared this after years of using tape backups. Due to long-term retention needs, Toyota previously relied on tape backups for its scalability. However, as their production data kept growing, traditional tape workflows became harder to manage. This led Toyota to begin its journey toward modernizing their data protection operations. What tape saved in storage costs, it cost in time Manufacturing industries experience rapid data growth as production scales, driven by large amounts

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect almost 10 years ago and has since been enforced more strictly across the European Union. Companies need to comply with GDPR to meet regulatory requirements and safeguard user data. With large companies such as Amazon, Meta, and Google all being fined for GDPR noncompliance, failing to protect user data is no longer an option. Till date, more than €2.7 billion in fines have been issued across Europe for GDPR violations. The GDPR is a European law that mandates how organizations should collect, use, and store personal data in the EU. GDPR

With the rise of sophisticated cyber threats, the Network and Information Systems 2 Directive’s (NIS2) purpose is to protect critical services and infrastructure and hold EU corporations to higher standards, as cyber attacks have risen to 46.5% in EU countries. NIS2 aims to strengthen cybersecurity for network and information systems across the European Union and builds on the NIS1 Directive. NIS2 expands the scope of the original directive, covering a wider range of industries and sectors and applying to more than 100,000 entities across the EU. It classifies businesses into Essential and Important entities and imposes stronger security requirements and
