As healthcare data is projected to grow exponentially in the coming years, hospitals, healthcare facilities, and healthcare institutions must ensure patient data is stored safely to provide peace of mind for patients and meet regulatory compliance. If data is not securely stored, there is a chance that hackers or even unauthorized employees may want to break in and steal confidential information and sell it for personal gain. According to a 2023 Healthcare Data Breach report, more than 82 million healthcare records have been exposed or disclosed without permission between January and October 2023. If that happens, healthcare facilities may be

Backup performance is considered one of the most critical elements of data protection. In a survey conducted by Synology that focused on 1,500 IT decision-makers, more than half of the respondents ranked backup speed as one of their primary challenges. Sluggish backups can stall an organization's production processes. And if a backup task exceeds its designated time frame, it has the potential to linger indefinitely, leaving critical workloads unprotected. As an essential service safeguarding data stored on Synology systems, Hyper Backup has supported incremental backup mode since its introduction, reducing the time required for backup tasks. Nevertheless, with businesses accumulating

With the emergence of Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, education has evolved to include online learning, leading to a rising demand for efficient data management. SaaS services are often used for storing educational data from various platforms and institutes to meet changing IT requirements. Microsoft 365 services now provide students and faculty members with the tools they need to collaborate seamlessly as well as safeguard and access their data quickly. Yet, their SaaS data may be not as safe as they think. Schools may have to deal with hackers that impersonate cloud

When managing your data, a lot of users assume that data synchronization is equivalent to data backup. That couldn’t be farther away from the truth.

When it comes to data management, awareness of the various backup and recovery strategies is crucial. Many corporations follow strict backup practices to prevent data loss in case of accidental deletion or ransomware attacks. This is to ensure that corporate data can be easily retrieved no matter what happens.

To solve these issues, you need to implement backup types that meet your requirements. In this blog post, let’s take a look at three types of backups: full, differential, and incremental backups. Comparing

These numbers clearly highlight the significance of having a robust data backup strategy as part of a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. By being prepared and implementing a reliable data backup plan, you can reduce the risks associated with data loss and ensure the continuity of your

This post was updated on July 7, 2025 Work pressure and irregular staffing make any holiday or travel season the perfect occasion for threat actors. Besides direct attacks on your infrastructure, phishing and other scams targeting employees become more successful through exploiting communication and staffing gaps. Routine maintenance also becomes more difficult with fewer (qualified) hands to do the job. And if there are any remote or hybrid employees in the mix, it looks like you (sysadmin, tech consultant, designated IT person) will be the go-to person, even if you’re technically away on the beach somewhere along the equator.
