Synology hosted its annual Solution Day 2025, welcoming over 200 participants and unveiling a new generation of enterprise-grade resilience solutions. The company also shared key insights from its latest regional enterprise survey, outlining practical strategies for organisations to strengthen their cyber resilience in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
“Enterprises in the UAE are increasingly adopting hybrid cloud strategies to gain flexibility and drive innovation,” said Antoine Yang, Regional Sales Manager at Synology. “While hybrid approaches offer clear advantages, securely and efficiently managing multiple environments remains a challenge. This makes it crucial for businesses to implement strategies that balance security, performance, and cost efficiency, ensuring true cyber resiliency.”
The event highlighted how Synology’s newest line-up of solutions addresses the growing demand for integrated data protection, backup, and recovery systems capable of supporting hybrid and multi-cloud operations. Through a combination of advanced software intelligence and scalable storage infrastructure, the company demonstrated how enterprises can simplify IT management while enhancing their capacity to withstand and recover from cyber incidents.
Synology’s Solution Day 2025 underscored its commitment to empowering businesses in the region with the tools and insights required to thrive in the digital era — where, as the company emphasised, resilience is no longer an option but a fundamental necessity for survival.
Synology 2025 Enterprise Survey Reveals UAE’s Critical Gaps in Cyber Resilience
Amid increasing IT complexity, the Synology 2025 Enterprise Survey reveals that many organizations in the MEA region remain vulnerable to cyber risks:
- Fewer than 18% of enterprises are confident in addressing rising cyber threats, while 32% experienced data loss or security incidents in the past year.
- 84% of IT leaders prioritize security in IT infrastructure, underscoring the demand for trusted solutions.
- 55% of businesses cite data protection and disaster recovery as the main drivers of data growth in the coming year — highlighting the importance of scalable storage for business continuity.
- Despite awareness of the need for resilience, 63.52% of IT leaders struggle with cost challenges in maintaining continuity.
These findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive cyber resilience strategies that safeguard data, maintain continuity, and simplify IT management.
Scalable, High-Performance Storage for Business Continuity
At the event, Synology showcases its enterprise storage solutions, including the high-performance PAS Series with active-active dual controllers and end-to-end NVMe technology, designed to deliver performance meeting high availability. The GS Series scale-out system is also featured, supporting PB-level capacity across multiple nodes for growing enterprise needs.
Centralized Data Protection Enhancing Cyber Resilience
With the recent release of DP7200 and APM1.1, Synology showcases new ActiveProtect updates that deliver expanded workload support, strengthened cyber resilience, and simplified compliance. The updates enhance core features such as immutability and air-gap technologies, including Write Once, Read Many (WORM) to prevent unauthorized deletions and network isolation for secure access. Together, these capabilities support a robust 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy with offsite backups and immutable copies, helping organizations safeguard critical data and maintain business continuity.
