Multilayer solutions for system security

The implementation and standardization of new hybrid or remote work formats, the use of employees’ own devices to connect to business files or the integration of cloud solutions as reference servers have led to the emergence of new threats for companies. organizations. Ransomware attacks and data hijacking, phishing campaigns or poor security of home networks are dangers that IT teams must anticipate and prevent. The configuration of multiple layers of security and the use of advanced monitoring systems allow to guarantee a high protection of the servers, avoiding possible data loss.

The configuration of multiple security layers and the use of advanced monitoring systems allow to guarantee a high protection of the servers

Multilayer security structures are characterized by the diversity of solutions used to protect connections and equipment. The designs must be adapted to the characteristics and needs of each company, taking into account the location of the employees, the relevance of the data or the quality of the connections. However, there are some key factors to take into account in all advanced security infrastructures: system monitoring, backup configuration, interconnection between servers and access management.

Single control panel for complete supervision

Having a system that makes it possible to know the status of the entire system and the different equipment that configures it in a direct and simple way is essential to prevent possible security breaches and counteract potential attacks. Synology Active Insight allows you to configure a personalized global monitoring platform where performance metrics and equipment condition are integrated, regardless of their location. Through its security panel it is also possible to control user activities, including logins, backups made or uploading files.

Protection against attacks and disasters with regular backups

Establishing a 3-2-1 backup protocol should be a priority for any company. This is based on the creation of a minimum of 3 backup copies in 2 different locations, one of them outside the same company. Synology Active Backup for Business allows you to simplify tasks thanks to its system to manage backups in physical and virtual environments, from a centralized panel. Its full compatibility with different platforms and operating systems is complemented by integration with Synology C2 Backup, which allows you to create a backup in the Synology cloud to ensure its availability in the event of a disaster.

Clustered configurations to ensure continuity of operations

Joining servers in a failover cluster ensures that company operations will continue even in the event of a single unit failure. Synology High Availability allows you to centrally manage the infrastructure to detect any malfunction and maximize service uptime, increasing enterprise IT reliability and reducing repair and recovery costs.

Avoid suspicious access and password theft

Having alerts that warn of possible unwanted access, hacking or weak passwords is also key in any configuration. Thanks to Synology Secure SignIn, administrators can receive notifications in the same Active Insight panel of any possible threat to system access controls. In addition, it also allows you to easily configure individualized and high-security access codes or protocols on devices, taking system protection to a new level.
