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

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
