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.” Stuart Jubb, Crossword Cybersecurity’s group managing director, added: “Trillion has been designed to provide organisations with the proactive protection from the potential threats that exposure of information on the dark web can bring. Our alliance with TD SYNNEX will allow us to reach out to partners and enable more organisations to benefit from knowing exactly what information from their files has found its way onto the dark web.”

to take a comprehensive cybersecurity and data protection proposition to their customers. 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.” This 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,” said Nixon. “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

Evolve IP launch card payment solution to combat radical compliance changes

Evolve IP (EMEA) has launched a seamless end-to-end secure solution to address major payment card information (PCI) changes happening in March. Significant reforms are about to come into force that require businesses to have an evidence-based process for card payments, particularly over the phone. Ignoring the impending rule changes could expose businesses to sanctions, fines and irreversible reputational damage. To help address this, Evolve IP has launched Anywhere Secure Call, the latest addition to its Anywhere Product Suite. This innovation is powered by technology partner BroadSource, which work to drive collaboration in the cloud by helping the globe's most sophisticated service providers automate, integrate and differentiate their cloud collaboration solutions. Anywhere Secure Call has been designed to simplify PCI compliance and redefine the card payment landscape. It’s cost-effective, simple to set up, flexible and has been built from the ground up, ensuring proof of active adherence. The critical differentiation lies in ensuring customer payment card details are not stored within recorded voice communications. It intelligently directs all transactional voice calls to a designated, PCI-compliant segment of its network automatically. In the event of a PCI audit, businesses need only prove the compliance of this specific component, simplifying the overall process. This innovative approach allows businesses to demonstrate that the relevant voice traffic is isolated from

their intricate network infrastructure, effectively ‘de-scoping’ the compliance challenge. Many organisations are still unaware and unprepared for the radical changes they need to introduce, according to Evolve IP’s UK solutions director, Scott Rixon. “From Spring, businesses will need to prove their innocence by providing real-life data and proof of their compliancy, rather than simply verbally defending any guilt that has been implied,” he said. Anywhere Secure Call is priced on a per-user basis rather than a per-transaction percentage, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes. Whether a small business with just one seat or an enterprise call centre with hundreds, the solution caters to diverse organisational needs. “At Evolve IP, we believe solutions should work for everyone but currently, that’s not always the case,” said Rixon. “Some PCI solutions require a minimum deployment of say 50 users, which simply isn’t viable for a small business. Equally, other options need to have the ability to scale up to larger enterprises. Also, we even know of some models based on a low cost of entry but then charge higher transaction fees. “Now any business that needs to take card payments can just enable Secure Call, from a small florist to a gardening company. It can be as simple or sophisticated as required and can even be plugged into a CRM database to automate the whole process. We are covering all angles. But time is running out. Don’t wait any longer.”
