Unlocking Cybersecurity: The 2025-26 TOP 5 Cybersecure Sub-10PB NAS Solutions Report

DCIG Releases 2025-26 TOP 5 Cybersecure Sub-10PB NAS Solutions Global Edition Report

April 29, 2025 – DCIG has announced the immediate availability of its latest publication, the 2025-26 TOP 5 Cybersecure Sub-10PB NAS Solutions – Global Edition Report. This report serves as a comprehensive guide for organizations seeking the most effective cybersecure Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions suitable for data storage needs under 10 petabytes. The report is available for download at no cost upon registration.

NAS Solutions: A Practical Choice for Organizations

NAS solutions have become an essential part of data management strategies for organizations of all sizes. With support for major network file protocols such as Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB), these systems are relatively simple to set up, configure, and deploy. However, their widespread adoption also makes them attractive targets for ransomware attacks, a growing cybersecurity concern for businesses today.

The Growing Demand for NAS

As organizations continue to experience exponential data growth due to the increasing number of devices and applications, the demand for robust storage solutions rises. Modern applications, especially in fields that utilize high-resolution media, are generating larger file sizes, further necessitating efficient storage systems. According to a recent report by Fortune Business Insights, the global NAS market is projected to grow significantly, expanding from a valuation of $40.3 billion in 2024 to nearly $130 billion by 2032. Current estimates suggest that more than 80% of organizations already utilize NAS technology, confirming its importance in contemporary data storage landscapes.

Enhancing Security for Network File Protocols

Historically, the initial versions of the NFS and SMB protocols provided minimal encryption options, posing risks such as man-in-the-middle attacks, where transmitted data could be intercepted and compromised. However, advancements in these protocols now enable organizations to secure their communications with features like mutual authentication and granular security policies.

Organizations can now take advantage of the latest versions, NFSv4.x and SMB 3.x, which include enhanced security measures, allowing for encryption of data in transit. This shift has led to increased confidence in the continued use of NAS solutions in corporate environments.

Cybersecurity: A Central Feature of Sub-10PB NAS Solutions

The prevalence of ransomware attacks has prompted the development of cybersecurity features within sub-10PB NAS solutions. These measures are designed to guard against threats that can encrypt data, exfiltrate sensitive information, or compromise administrative credentials.

Common cybersecurity features found in modern NAS solutions include:

  • Anomaly Detection: Monitoring for unusual read or write activities to identify potential threats.
  • At-Rest Encryption: Ensuring that any data exfiltrated remains unreadable to unauthorized users.
  • Cloud Integration: Offering options for backup, replication, and storage tiering.
  • Immutable Snapshots: Facilitating rapid, secure data restoration processes in the event of an attack.
  • Active Directory Integration: Securing administrator access through established protocols.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Introducing additional steps to verify individual logins for enhanced security.
  • Write Once Read Many (WORM) Technologies: Preventing data alteration by ransomware.
  • Zero Trust Architecture: Implementing stringent access controls that mandate continuous authentication.

Evaluating Cybersecure NAS Solutions

In preparing the 2025-26 TOP 5 Cybersecure Sub-10PB NAS Solutions – Global Edition Report, DCIG evaluated approximately 40 different NAS solutions. Out of these, 15 solutions met the organization's stringent criteria for cybersecure sub-10PB storage options.

The report emphasizes the importance of understanding the diverse architectures and features available among these solutions, helping organizations make informed decisions that align with their security needs.
