TD SYNNEX expands cybersecurity portfolio with dark web data mining platform

VAD claims it will help MSSPs provide value-added proactive monitoring of corporate identities shared on the dark web provides

TD SYNNEX has added dark web data mining platform, Trillion, to its portfolio through a new partnership with specialist ISV Crossword Cybersecurity.

With Trillion, customers' employees can scan the dark web to find out if their usernames and passwords that are being shared.

The platform also provides information on where and how the information was sourced.

Full enablement and support on the solution will be provided for Trillion by TD in collaboration with Crossword Cybersecurity's UK-based team.

Channel programmes for both managed services providers and reseller partners are available for Trillion, which becomes part TD SYNNEX's portfolio of security solutions and services.

Alison Nixon, UK director for security at TD SYNNEX, said: "The dark web has become a distinct and growing threat to organisations and Trillion is a valuable addition to our expanding security portfolio.

"It enables MSPs and partners to offer monitoring of the dark web and thus help their customers to be aware that information is out there that could be used to break their own or their customers' network and data protection."

She claimed the addition of Trillion makes TD SYNNEX even better-placed to support partners in growing and developing their cybersecurity business.

"Whether they are already established as an MSSP, or just starting to build their own practice, we can provide the expertise, enablement and support they need to grow and develop their business."

Nixon also explained that the new addition is, in part, a response to partner feedback.

"Within the TD SYNNEX security practice, we are acutely aware of the growing threat that the dark web poses and in recent times it's come up more often in conversations with partners.

"If data is out there on the dark web, that's just as dangerous for small as well as large organisations and, in addition to being extremely effective, Trillion is also very scalable and affordable.

"We see this as an opportunity for MSSPs and partners addressing every sector of the market to add value for their customers by keeping them one step ahead."

The announcement comes just days after TD SYNNEX signed a deal to be only the second full-enterprise distributor in the UK for Nvidia.
