The Gately Report TD Synnex Partners Cybercriminals Use AI to Trick Them

Cybercriminals are using artificial intelligence (AI) to boost the likelihood of their attacks succeeding, posing a growing threat to TD Synnex partners.Ed Morales, worldwide vice president of security and high-growth business development at TD Synnex, says as much. He spoke with us at the TD Synnex Beyond Security event held in Boston last week.In order to boost development and profitability, TD Synnex presented at the conference how its portfolio of suppliers, which includes the cloud, artificial intelligence, and security, can assist partners in pursuing these high-growth technologies.Morales stated, "You have to be able to defend against those threats because the bad actors are leveraging AI." Additionally, we've observed that AI is widely used in many of the technologies that some of our vendors are implementing.

It's quite remarkable. It aims to always be one step ahead.Equipping TD Synnex Partners: According to Morales, many TD Synnex partners may be knowledgeable about network security or more basic security, but they may not be aware of the AI advances that suppliers have incorporated into their products. "There's a convergence now that we're trying to take to market AI around cloud and security, so we've got to be able to be a step ahead of what's happening in the technology market and the environment. And that's not just a North American statement, that is global. One really great thing about this is that our job is to make sure that we curate all of what the vendors are providing and then provide that information to our customers at scale," he said.
