Synology fortifies enterprise cyber resilience solutions

• The right balance between security, performance, and cost is essential for true cyber resiliency, official says.

Synology gathered around 200 industry professionals for its Solution Day 2025, turning the spotlight on the evolving challenges and solutions in enterprise IT.

Participants dove into hands-on demos, keen discussions on regional trends, and a closer look at technologies designed to fortify cyber resilience amid rapidly changing digital landscapes.

Antoine Yang, Synology’s Regional Sales Manager, set the tone by addressing the growing number of UAE enterprises turning toward hybrid cloud architectures.

“Organisations want the flexibility and innovation that hybrid strategies provide,” he explained. “But managing these diverse environments securely and efficiently is no easy feat. The right balance between security, performance, and cost is essential for true cyber resiliency.”

Key takeaways

As IT complexity rises, Synology presented sobering statistics from its latest MEA regional survey, uncovering vulnerability and opportunity:

• Less than 18% of regional enterprises are truly confident in their ability to fend off escalating cyber threats.
• Approximately 32% faced data loss or security incidents in the past year—reminding everyone that preparedness can’t be an afterthought.
• Nearly 71% of IT leaders rank security as their top priority when designing infrastructure, emphasising the need for dependable, trusted solutions.
• Data protection and disaster recovery are on every agenda. Nearly two-thirds of businesses expect these needs to drive massive data growth in the coming year, spotlighting scalable storage as critical for business continuity.
• While awareness is growing, 63.5% of IT leaders acknowledge that high costs make continuity challenging to maintain.

These findings serve as a wake-up call for organizations to craft holistic, sustainable strategies that simplify IT management while protecting data and operations.

Showcasing latest enterprise solutions

Attendees had their first look at the new high-performance solutions from Synology:

• PAS Series: Powered by active-active dual controllers and end-to-end NVMe tech, built to guarantee high availability and rapid failover.
• GS Series: A scale-out storage system that supports petabyte-level expansion, with modular nodes tailored to ever-growing enterprise needs.

Synology’s recent rollouts—DP7200 and APM1.1—bring advanced protections and compliance features to the fore. Enhanced immutability and air-gap mechanisms, like Write Once, Read Many (WORM) and isolated network access, shield critical data against malicious deletion and tampering.

The strengthened suite enables best-practice backup strategies, aligning with the robust 3-2-1-1-0 model, ensuring data remains recoverable and compliant.

Stepping beyond pure storage, Synology is amplifying its digital workplace toolkit. Businesses can now leverage the Synology Office Suite for real-time collaboration, a new integrated messaging and video conferencing platform, and AI-powered productivity boosters—all managed from the centralised Synology AI Console.

For those who crave full customisation and speed, on-premises AI servers and tailored AI agents promise to push efficiency even further.

Synology’s approach, as underscored by Antoine Yang, is tailored for markets that prize control, flexibility, and value. “Especially in places like the UAE, keeping data local, protected, and manageable is non-negotiable. We want enterprises to scale with peace of mind.”
