Synology has officially introduced ActiveProtect, a new line of enterprise data protection appliances designed to simplify backup, recovery, and cybersecurity for businesses in Malaysia. This all-in-one solution integrates enterprise backup software, server, and a backup repository into a single system, eliminating the complexity of traditional data protection approaches.
With a focus on strengthening cyber resilience, ActiveProtect offers comprehensive platform support, advanced security features, and scalable management while maintaining a transparent pricing model. As a global leader in private cloud storage, Synology currently manages over 520 exabytes of data across 13 million servers and is trusted by more than half of the Fortune 500. As of 2024, the company protects over 25 million workloads worldwide, ensuring business continuity and robust data security across industries.
“Data protection should empower businesses, not be a burden to them,” said Jia-Yu Liu, Executive Vice President at Synology. “ActiveProtect embodies Synology’s expertise in hardware and software engineering and insights from close collaboration with customers. We are confident that ActiveProtect will exceed enterprises’ expectations for data protection.”
Addressing Malaysia’s Growing Cybersecurity Challenges
With the increasing threat of ransomware attacks in Malaysia, including major incidents affecting government agencies and enterprises in 2023, the demand for secure, scalable, and easy-to-use data protection solutions has never been greater. Businesses also face strict data compliance regulations, such as Malaysia’s PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act), making cyber resilience a top priority for organizations.
“The demand for a scalable, secure, and user-friendly data protection solution has never been greater, and ActiveProtect is positioned to meet that need in Malaysia. We look forward to seeing how it empowers enterprises to secure their most valuable assets with greater ease,” said Thachawan Chinchanakarn, Synology’s ASEAN Regional Manager.
