SynetoOS: new security features
Introduction
With the evolution of cyber threats and the growing need to protect business data, Syneto developed an advanced security pack within its operating system, Syneto OS, designed to offer comprehensive protection, resilience, and rapid data recovery in the event of an attack.
With regulations becoming increasingly specific and widespread, NIS2 being an example, the requirements for implementing data-focused security measures are becoming more important. According to recent Gartner research, data privacy is a top priority for organizations, and spending has increased by over 24% compared to the previous year.
Let’s explore the key features and how Syneto OS can make a difference in protecting your business.
Recovery Point Hold
The Recovery Point Hold feature is designed to ensure the long-term retention of data, thereby meeting regulatory and audit requirements. This feature provides an additional layer of protection, allowing companies to maintain copies of data for extended periods, facilitating investigations and e-discovery processes.
In a context where data protection regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, having the ability to securely retain data is crucial. Recovery Point Hold enables companies to demonstrate compliance and respond quickly to audits. This feature not only enhances data security but also offers transparency in business operations, allowing for more effective management of sensitive information. Syneto OS supports companies in complying with security regulations, such as GDPR and NIS2, thanks to this new feature.
Continuous Authentication
Continuous Authentication represents a significant step forward in protecting business applications. This feature adds an extra layer of security by constantly monitoring user access and actions to prevent suspicious activity.
The main advantages are:
- Protection against “Session Hijacking” attacks: The system, by requiring authentication renewal, especially when combined with Multi-Factor Authenticator, is able to prevent suspicious activity, reducing the risk of cyberattacks.
- Security Enhancement: It integrates seamlessly with existing security practices, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive data and critical applications.
Multi-Factor Authenticator
Multi-Factor Authenticator is another essential element for ensuring the security of the IT infrastructure. The implementation of MFA helps reduce the risk of credential theft, as even if an attacker were to obtain a password, they would still need a second factor to complete the access. Additionally, in combination with Continuous Authentication, Syneto OS requires users to provide more than one verification method to perform potentially dangerous actions on applications and data.
Finally, with the introduction of regulations like NIS2, MFA becomes a fundamental requirement for many companies, helping to ensure that their security practices are aligned with industry standards.
Conclusions
These innovations not only protect sensitive data but also ensure regulatory compliance and operational resilience. Investing in secure IT infrastructure is essential to addressing the challenges of today’s digital landscape.
Syneto OS’s Security Pack is proof that Syneto cares about company data and operational continuity. With these new features introduced, Syneto OS is even more secure, and businesses can face cyber threats with greater confidence, knowing they have advanced tools for data protection at their disposal.
