Synology Simplifies Enterprise Data Protection
NEW DELHI: Coinciding with the World Backup Day 2026, Synology has introduced the latest version of its ActiveProtect Manager, APM 1.2 in India, alongside its ActiveProtect appliance.
The new version of APM is designed to simply enterprise data protection as it unifies backup, recovery, and ransomware protection into a single platform; helping organizations reduce operational complexity while maintaining consistent protection standards.
“Data protection today is no longer limited to periodic backups; it requires continuous visibility, fast recovery, and centralized management across distributed environments,” said Andrew Huang, Regional Sales Manager. “Organizations need a unified approach that not only protects data, but also simplifies operations and strengthens resilience against modern cyber threats.”
Synology ActiveProtect supports a wide range of workloads, including physical servers, virtual machines, endpoints and SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365. It enables centralised management across multiple sites and offers flexible recovery options from granular file restoration to full system recovery.
The platform comes with built-in safeguards such as air-gapping, backup immutability, and role-based access controls that further strengthen protection against emerging cyber threats. By aligning with the 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy, Synology’s unified approach helps organizations enhance data integrity and ensure recoverability in the face of increasingly sophisticated attacks.
As cyber threats continue to escalate and IT environments become increasingly distributed, traditional backup strategies are proving insufficient for modern enterprises. Managing multiple tools across on-premise infrastructure, cloud platforms, and edge environments has introduced operational complexity, inconsistent protection, and slower recovery times, leaving organisations more vulnerable to data loss and ransomware attacks. These challenges are prompting organizations to rethink how data protection should be structured in an era defined by hybrid work and rapidly evolving threat landscapes.
Recent industry findings highlight the urgency of this shift. ESET reports a 50% year-on-year increase in ransomware attacks, while Verizon’s research shows that 88% of breached SMBs experienced ransomware incidents. As threats grow in both scale and sophistication, the limitations of fragmented backup strategies are becoming increasingly clear.
Synology believes that simplifying data protection infrastructure is critical to improving cyber resilience. Rather than relying on multiple point solutions, organizations are increasingly seeking integrated platforms that provide centralized visibility, consistent security policies and faster recovery across environments.
