Storage, network, and security hardware provider Synology has announced a new purpose-built range of data protection appliances labelled ActiveProtect. These combine centralised management with a highly scalable architecture to comprehensively backup endpoints, servers, hypervisors, storage systems, databases, and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace services.

Synology is well-known, and rightly so, for its wide range of NAS devices that range from small dual-bay options to far vaster cavernous capacities for power users, professionals, offices, and more. The Taiwanese-based storage and networking company has now forayed into simpler, but still robust and reliable, products for those with a less technical background with the BeeStation.

Microsoft 365 Suite is widely used, offering a range of applications to meet various needs. Protecting the data within Office 365 applications is important, and businesses need a robust backup plan to safeguard critical data against accidental data deletion, security threats, and ensure business continuity and compliance.

GUEST OPINION:  World Backup Day should serve as a timely reminder to Australian businesses about their responsibility to protect customer data, according to global cloud storage company Wasabi Technologies.

The 31st of March is World Backup Day, and according to the Australian Signals Directorate Cyber Threat Report 2022-2023 a cyber security incident is reported every six minutes. It's clear businesses and individuals must maintain an enduring focus on cybersecurity, and the basics can't be forgotten. Seagate Technology has these timely reminders regarding backups.

GUEST OPINION: World Backup Day is an annual reminder of how important it is to have an up-to-date, readily accessible copy of everything that matters to your business. Resilient backups allow you to recover more quickly from data damage, disruption, or loss, particularly if a ransomware attack has resulted in encrypted or deleted files.

No matter the size of your business, if you’re using the internet for your day-to-day operations, you’re always at risk of losses — unless you have a failover internet in place. A failover internet, also called as backup internet, is a secondary internet connection that kicks in once your main connection fails. Unfortunately, even though many businesses already have a backup internet in place, not all failover solutions can be effective. You can encounter a rubbish secondary provider or an unreliable failover setup that may not live up to expectations.

Storage and networking hardware provider Synology has released its new BeeDrive, a tiny data hub that backs up personal files and photos from your computer, phone, and tablet simultaneously, with an extremely simple setup.

GUEST OPINION: With data breaches rarely far from the headlines these days, the alarms for stronger data protection could not be ringing louder and they should not be ignored. In seeking the competitive advantages of capturing more data, along with a general data explosion, many organisations have not adequately understood the scale of the task of protecting it.
