Did you know that hackers are now directly targeting backups? They’re no longer only targeting servers, corporate systems, or business-critical applications. According to a Sophos study, attackers have attempted to compromise backups in over 94% of ransomware attacks. Over half of those attacks (57%) were successful, greatly undermining an organization’s ability to recover data.  Ensuring the security of their backups is now a top priority for enterprises. This is where offline backups come in. With offline backups, data is physically disconnected from the network, so ransomware cannot access the backups, thus establishing a line of defense against ransomware. Physical isolation

With the rise of AI-powered ransomware, companies need a proactive data protection solution capable of securing data. Synology’s data protection lineup, called ActiveProtect, is a purpose-built backup appliance designed to provide enterprise-level data protection for businesses of all sizes. No company is immune to ransomware—not even small to mid-size businesses. With ActiveProtect Manager (APM) 2.0, Synology ActiveProtect takes data protection one step further by introducing proactive cyber resilience capabilities, including AI-based anomaly detection, pre-recovery malware scans, storage-based encryption, as well as granular options for role-based access controls. Combined with existing security features such as WORM and air-gapping, ActiveProtect helps businesses

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,

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

Did you know that there has been a 1200% surge in phishing attacks? The rise of AI has turned into a double-edged sword as it can aid businesses but it can also target them. AI-powered cyber attacks have now evolved. There is a growth of AI-driven phishing attacks, AI-enabled credential abuse, intelligent ransomware, and more. Companies need to be proactive in securing corporate data, rely on a modern backup solution, and follow the 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy. How AI-powered cyber threats are impacting businesses today AI-powered cyber attacks are now becoming the norm, not the exception. As AI is adaptive and

With the rise of AI-powered ransomware, it’s more important than ever before to secure your data against emerging cyber threats as they continue to threaten businesses around the world. Roughly 71% of businesses reported an increase in the frequency of cyberattacks over the past year while 61% reported an increase of cyber attack severity in the same time frame, according to statistics. Some businesses might underestimate the risk of cyber attacks which could lead to under investing when businesses are looking to securing data. Businesses, especially rapidly growing ones, often generate a lot of data. A lot of data is

With an increase of AI-powered cyberattacks, Synology understands the importance of providing businesses with a data resilient solution. This is why Synology continues to optimize our flagship data protection series: ActiveProtect appliance. Corporations need to be able to maintain business continuity, enhance their incident response readiness, and meet long-term data retention requirements. With Synology ActiveProtect, organizations can handle data protection with a purpose-built backup appliance. Companies can unify their data protection with an all-in-one appliance. With a built-in operating system called ActiveProtect Manager (APM), businesses can consolidate management, security, and scalability on one single platform. APM comes with backup, recovery,

Authored by Yi-Lin Zhuo, Senior Manager at Synology leading the Quality Assurance teams responsible for Synology’s product releases. Today, well over ten million Synology systems are actively in-use around the world, each holding an average of tens if not hundreds of terabytes of data. That actually puts the global Synology fleet on par with many public clouds. Behind every one of those systems is someone who depends on it: a business protecting years of financial records, a hospital archiving patient data, a creative studio safeguarding irreplaceable project files. When we release an update, there’s a massive responsibility for us to

AI assistants have quietly become part of the default workday. They draft replies, summarize long email threads, translate content for global teams, and turn rough notes into something you'd actually send. But "which model is best?" is surprisingly hard to answer in a way that reflects real work. Brand perception, UI differences, and one bad interaction can skew opinions fast. So we ran a small internal experiment. Over four weeks, Synology employees around the world used AI features inside Synology Office and MailPlus, our Synology Office Suite that lets organizations connect their own choice of LLM while keeping content private

Josh Lin, Director of Video Surveillance solutions at Synology, explains how Surveillance Station 9.2.5 marks a major milestone, with a significant jump from 8,900 to more than 17,000 supported cameras. Video surveillance systems rarely start from a blank page. Today, most organizations already have cameras deployed to protect workplaces, retail locations, warehouses. As they scale, additional compliance and security requirements follow. That’s often when the limits of traditional, rigid video surveillance architectures show up, especially when it’s time to expand, modernize, or merge data across multiple sites. Camera Compatibility Yes, we make cameras too. Synology cameras are designed to work
