Partner Content As global cyber security threats continue to rise, and ransomware attacks increase in frequency and intensity, the need for enterprise data protection has become more urgent. According to Synology's internally published 2024 Global Enterprise Data Management Survey, organizations often struggle to achieve comprehensive data backup due to factors such as budget constraints, lack of manpower and time, and overly complex existing solutions. This results in less than half of respondents feeling prepared to deal with ransomware.

"After collaborating with customers of various sizes and industries, we found that organizations are really constrained by many real-world factors in the process of protecting data, which makes it difficult to comprehensively cover all operational aspects," said Jia-Yu Liu, Deputy General Manager. Head of Synology Backup Products. "This means that organizations may still be exposed to cyber security risks, which is an area that Synology has long focused on and is keen to provide strong assistance."
As a leading global data management company, Synology has introduced a new data protection solution: ActiveProtect, an all-in-one machine designed specifically for business backup. It comes with a dedicated operating system and features mechanisms such as backup, deduplication, encrypted replication and instant recovery. By addressing three major challenges in practice, ActiveProtect offers data protection services that meet different implementation needs and scales.
Jia-Yu Liu observed that most existing solutions on the market require IT staff to assemble hardware and software, leading to concerns about not being able to ensure functionality and performance that meet the organization's needs. For example, if a company chooses backup software that requires immutable backups and deduplication to reduce storage space, they often have to integrate different cloud solutions from different vendors, which requires thorough research into software specifications and extensive communication with multiple vendors.
