TD SYNNEX has launched a new pre-configured anti-fraud solution that enables cloud partners to detect, prevent and remediate against potential attacks, particularly Microsoft Azure small business customers.
Small businesses that do not have their own IT team or cybersecurity team can be especially vulnerable to crypto mining attacks, where criminals hijack cloud accounts to spin up servers that they then use to produce cryptocurrencies.
The TD SYNNEX SMB Fraud Defender has been developed to help businesses increase the security posture of their cloud environment and thus reduce the risk of them falling foul of this practice and other fraudulent activities.
TD SYNNEX UK Microsoft business unit manager Darren Dixon said: “Cybercrime is globally impacting organisations regardless of industry or company size, with spearfishing being one of the most common techniques being used to gain initial organisational access.
The product lets Microsoft CSP partners to control their cloud environments better whilst reducing risk in day-to-day cloud operations. Key features of Fraud Defender include multi-factor authentication (MFA) and identity, the ability to configure conditional access, geographic restrictions for logins and Azure cost management and alerting, which enables setting usage thresholds and notifications.
Fraud Defender has been in pilot for several weeks with several partners and is no charge to TD SYNNEX’s Microsoft CSP partners.
