Synology launches a Lil NAS to help protect consumers from threats

In the year 2023, it appears that ransomware continues to persist as a significant threat. Such attacks have been observed to cause widespread disruptions across the country. This has lead to the closure of educational institutions, affecting healthcare facilities, and even impeding the operations of government agencies.

Organizations are recognizing the detrimental consequences of such attacks, and acknowledging the gravity of the potential compromise. However, only now are consumers beginning to comprehend the far-reaching implications of these incidents, which extend beyond the corporate realm. “There’s this awful downward spiral of societal harm that happens from ransomware,” said Megan Stifel, co-chair of the ransomware task force and an executive director at the Global Cyber Alliance.

To mitigate the risk of data and technology loss, consumers are increasingly opting for Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices as a means of added protection. A NAS device is a storage device that connects to a network and offers file access services to clients. By utilizing a NAS, individuals can store all their files in a centralized location and access them from any point on their network, thereby facilitating seamless file sharing and backup.

A NAS can help protect your data from loss due to ransomware, hardware failure or other disasters. Many NAS devices support RAID configurations, which can help protect your data even if one or more hard drives fail.
