A Cyber Resilience Strategy Can Help Your Business Stay Safe in the Future
Microsoft sent out a very important warning in July 2025 about a SharePoint vulnerability that was being actively exploited and affected more than 9,000 organizations around the world. Attackers were able to get into SharePoint environments without permission by changing server-side machine keys and getting around authentication controls.
For many businesses that use SharePoint as their main system for working together and managing documents, this breach was very dangerous. It could have led to data exposure, unauthorized changes, operational disruption, and even downtime for the whole company.
This event is a strong reminder that traditional security measures are no longer enough. Companies need to take a new look at their current cyber defense and work toward a complete, multi-layered cyber resilience strategy. This strategy should include advanced cybersecurity practices as well as verified, reliable, and separate backup systems. Epis Technology (ET) is an expert at making this kind of defense. Learn how Epis Technology addresses critical data‑protection challenges.
Why a Defense Strategy with Many Layers Is Important
The SharePoint attack showed a modern truth: hackers don’t usually attack directly. Instead, they take advantage of weak points, steal login information, get around authentication, and quietly get into important data systems. Firewalls, antivirus software, and defenses around the outside are no longer enough.
To protect themselves from advanced cyber threats, businesses need to use layered security that can find, isolate, and recover from them. Epis Technology helps businesses become more resilient by:
- Protection for workstations and endpoints
- Zero-trust access controls and making MFA mandatory
- Data pathways that are encrypted and network segmentation
- Tools for finding anomalies and tracking behavior
- Synology infrastructure made backup workflows more secure.
- Support for vendor compliance with cybersecurity
A multi-layered protection model makes it much more likely that a company will be able to survive or recover from a breach.
Epis Technology not only designs and installs these layered defenses, but it also checks that your suppliers, storage platforms, and cloud tools are ready for modern data protection standards. To counter modern cyber threats from ransomware to unauthorized access it’s vital to secure storage systems themselves; Epis Technology outlines how Synology NAS Protect Your Devices from Cyber Threats.
Business Continuity and Data Recoverability are the keys to cyber resilience.
People often forget about backups as a way to protect their computers, but they are the last line of defense when all other defenses fail. Backups are the only way to get back on track if data is encrypted, corrupted, or deleted during an attack.
Epis Technology is working to make this last line of defense stronger by:
- Full backups for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, servers, and endpoints
- Data isolation powered by Synology with protection that can’t be changed and is offline
- A hybrid backup system that uses both on-premises and cloud storage
- Checks for integrity that happen automatically and tests for recovery that happen regularly
In today’s IT world, which includes SaaS platforms, hybrid clouds, and local infrastructure, any workload that isn’t protected can be used by attackers. Epis Technology makes sure that your backup plan covers every system, using Synology ActiveProtect, hybrid-ready backup to strengthen cyber resilience.
Why data isolation should be a key part of cybersecurity
Synology and Epis Technology stress the need for data isolation, especially through:
1. Backups that can’t be changed
Immutable backups stop changes or deletions for a set amount of time. Your backup data is safe even if an attacker gets hold of your administrative credentials.
2. Backups that are not connected to the internet (“air-gapped” backups)
Offline backups kept on storage devices that are physically or logically separate from the network stop attacks that use the network. These are the main copies that can be used to recover from serious problems.
Epis Technology uses both methods with Synology’s advanced snapshot replication, WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology, and safe offline backup processes.
The Significance of Backup Verification and Disaster Recovery Exercises
It’s not enough to just have backups; you need to make sure they work.
Many businesses don’t find out that their backups don’t work until it’s too late. That’s why Epis Technology adds automatic backup verification to all of the environments they manage. The company also does regular disaster-recovery tests so that businesses can be sure they can get back to work after a real disaster.
- These ways of checking make sure:
- That backup data is still there
- Those recovery points can be used.
- That restoration can happen quickly, even when things are tough
Epis Technology uses backup systems like Synology ActiveProtect and Synology NAS that come with built-in verification tools to make sure they can always be recovered.
Following the NIST and CISA Cyber Resilience Frameworks
Cybersecurity groups like NIST and CISA stress recovery as an important part of cybersecurity, on par with identification, protection, response, and ongoing monitoring.
Epis Technology uses these frameworks to help businesses:
- Doing regular security checks on the internet
- Checking how ready the backups and disaster recovery plans are
- Finding flaws in the infrastructure
- Putting in place strategies for multi-layered protection and resilience
Recovery is not a choice; it is necessary. Even if other defenses seem strong, organizations are still at risk if they don’t have a tested, proven recovery plan.
Why Epis Technology Is the Best Partner for Cyber Resilience
Epis Technology offers a complete way to be cyber resilient by combining:
- Consulting and setting up Synology
- Backup that works with both types of data and data replication across multiple sites
- Backup protection for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
- Backups for PCs and servers that are fully managed
- Designing large-scale storage for businesses that need to keep data for a long time
- Data isolation methods like immutability and copies that aren’t connected to the internet
- Planning and testing for disaster recovery
Epis Technology makes sure that businesses are not only safe, but also ready to bounce back right away, no matter what the threat is.
