DCIG, a well-known provider of market analysis and consulting services, has just released the 2025-26 DCIG TOP 5 Cybersecure 10PB+ NAS Solutions – Global Edition Report. This report serves as an essential resource for organizations seeking to implement the best cybersecure Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions that support 10PB or more of data. Interested parties can obtain a copy of the report free of charge upon registration.

The Importance of Cybersecure NAS Solutions

As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, the significance of adopting secure storage solutions cannot be overstated. Traditional NAS solutions are highly regarded for their user-friendly setup and deployment process, as well as their support for Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) protocols. However, their widespread usage also makes them potential targets for ransomware attacks.

In recent reports, a trend of accelerating data growth across organizations has been noted, leading to an increased reliance on NAS systems. As organizations adopt digital practices that generate larger files, including high-resolution media, the demand for reliable and secure storage solutions is on the rise. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global NAS market, valued at $40.3 billion in 2024, is projected to nearly triple and reach close to $130 billion by 2032.

Advancements in Network File Protocols

Historically, NFS and SMB protocols allowed limited options for protecting data in transit, making them vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Such attacks can lead to serious data breaches, as sensitive information may be intercepted. However, recent enhancements in these protocols have introduced features such as mutual authentication and message signing, improving their security profiles. Organizations can now encrypt transmitted data through the latest iterations of NFSv4.x or SMB 3.x, which provide additional assurance during data communication.

NAS Solutions under Cybersecurity Threats

Ransomware continues to be a prevalent threat, particularly targeting NAS solutions. Attackers can attempt to encrypt or exfiltrate data stored within these systems, undermining the security of organizational operations. Due to this rising threat landscape, contemporary NAS solutions are equipped with multiple cybersecurity measures to defend against such attacks:

  • Anomaly detection systems that monitor for unusual activity in data transactions.
  • At-rest encryption, ensuring that data remains secure even if accessed inappropriately.
  • Cloud integration for enhanced backup, replication, and storage tiering capabilities.
  • Immutable snapshots, enabling quick data restoration without the risk of tampering.
  • Integrations with Active Directory (AD) for authenticating administrator access.
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security to login processes.
  • Write Once Read Many (WORM) technologies that prevent ransomware from altering data.
  • Zero trust integration to enhance security protocols.

Organizations looking to adopt or upgrade their NAS solutions will encounter a variety of options, each with unique architectural features and cybersecurity capabilities.
