Comprehensive Data Protection System for Your Business.
ActiveProtect is Synology's new foundational enterprise backup technology, which provides extensive and multifaceted data security.
Synology has launched a new backup device specifically designed called ActiveProtect, aimed at organizations looking for effective backup features without complications. This device is responsible for managing, optimizing, and protecting assets such as databases, physical and virtual machines, as well as SaaS services, often scattered across fragmented and multisite environments, in addition to supporting backup copies with powerful deduplication features.
Data protection has become a priority, as the rise of cyberattacks, driven by artificial intelligence, severely threatens the information security of organizations. Backup strategies have had to evolve from disaster recovery to a more focused approach on cyber recovery. This means that, unlike previous attacks that impacted locally and made backups not the immediate target, cybercriminals now more precisely target data, compromising the integrity and reputation of companies.
One of the major challenges many organizations face is the segmentation of their hardware environment and the use of multiple data storage and application providers, each with their own rules. This makes coordinating a comprehensive backup strategy unfeasible for many businesses, complicating the management of this infrastructure.
ActiveProtect presents itself as a centralized backup solution that encompasses all endpoints of an organization, regardless of their location. It allows the management of data across multiple environments, including physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud applications, also facilitating the creation of customized protection and archiving plans. The solution includes client-side encryption to protect backups before storage and WORM storage, which prevents deletion or modification during set periods.
The device allows for the establishment of granular access controls, preventing unauthorized access to critical functions such as monitoring and restoration, with options for multifactor authentication and user activity logs. The initial setup is quick, taking only a few minutes.
Among other features, ActiveProtect ensures immutable backups on separate storage devices, where access times are flexible and controlled, as well as a fast backup system that allows for integrity verification and conducts recovery drills.
Managing backup infrastructure is simplified with a single plan, which adapts to multisite organizations. The devices that make up ActiveProtect range from low-volume models to high-density units capable of handling large amounts of data.
In summary, ActiveProtect offers a way to back up and manage data while protecting the integrity of information. With a holistic approach, it becomes a crucial option for companies seeking an effective solution against the growing risk of cyberattacks.
