The simplest solution would be to stick with Synology since you are already familiar with their OS and in many case you can migrate your existing NAS to a newer model without going through the faff of having to copy the data from one device to another.
The DS920+ compares quite closely to the TS-464, with future proof expandability. Add to that QNAP is more tweakable and requires a greater knowledge and they really are mighty close for a domestic / small business user.
When it comes to vulnerabilities - all NAS are vulnerable. Only Synology defaults 'ON' most of their security settings & QNAP defaults them to 'OFF' (but they are improving as they've been quite the target recently, partly because they are so popular).
The way to stay safest is to not allow your NAS access to the internet, but then that defats the object of having a personal cloud v paying someone else (Apple / Google / Microsoft / Dropbox etc...).
I'm sure your already familiar with the capabilities of synology for all your backup needs, but this overview might help refresh how simple & capable it can be:

Whatever NAS you choose, the range you're looking at Robbie will almost certainly have a referral link you can benefit from.
Hope this helps.
