► Opportunity for MSSPs to extend their managed security services

Customers are able to buy the services as they use them, making them simple for partners to offer and sell. TD SYNNEX has already identified a number of potential opportunities through key managed security services partners (MSSPs) and expects to see demand increasing swiftly.

Alison Nixon, director – security, TD SYNNEX Advanced Solutions, UK & Ireland, said: “One of the constant challenges organisations face with security is knowing where the gaps are in their defences – and no-one wants to discover that the hard way. With edgescan’s solutions and services, backed by TD SYNNEX’s own security expertise and services, partners can offer comprehensive vulnerability management that will identify any possible attack surfaces that cybercriminals could exploit. That has tremendous value for customers – reducing their risk and enhancing their overall security posture. It gives partners huge potential to extend their security services offering.”

Eoin Keary, CEO and founder of Edgescan, commented: ‘TD SYNNEX has a great and growing reputation as a genuine value-added distributor in the security market. We have a unique set of solutions and we’re ready to work with TD SYNNEX’s security practice team to provide the knowledge and support partners need to take Edgescan’s industry-leading vulnerability management to their enterprise and mid-market customers. The opportunity in the UK market is huge.’
