New partnership gives resellers unmatched external visibility into leaked credentials, ransomware ops, and emerging threats
28 May 2025 – Distology, a leading specialist distributor of cybersecurity solutions, has announced a new partnership with Flare, the leader in Security Intelligence and Threat Exposure Management. This partnership strengthens Distology’s growing threat intelligence portfolio by adding Flare’s proprietary external threat monitoring platform—designed to help security teams detect and act on risks far beyond the traditional perimeter.
Flare’s security intelligence platform is purpose-built for security professionals who need early warning signals on exposed credentials, stolen data, ransomware planning, and attack infrastructure. With the industry’s most comprehensive coverage of stealer logs, leaked credentials, Telegram cybercrime forums, and ransomware blogs, Flare delivers the visibility organisations need to stop breaches before they start. The platform provides real-time alerts, extensive API access, and intuitive workflows to support red teaming, executive monitoring, incident response, and attack surface and vulnerability management.
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Flare, as we evolve our cybersecurity strategy to the next level,” said Kobi Hunn, Solutions Engineering Manager at Distology. “The platform provides unparalleled actionable intelligence on external threats, but what really stood out when I used the platform was how simple it was to use—intelligence was surfaced clearly, and it was up and running in no time. For our customers and partners, it offers a proactive threat-hunting capability and a greater peace of mind in an increasingly complex landscape.”
A Shared Vision for Channel-First Cybersecurity
Flare’s platform is already seeing rapid adoption among MSSPs and enterprise security teams. Now, through Distology’s extensive partner ecosystem, more security providers across the UK and Europe will be able to embed dark web intelligence into their offerings—bolstering their capabilities with insight into leaked corporate credentials, brand impersonation activity, and ransomware operator planning.
Flare’s real-time feeds span more than 70 million proprietary stealer logs, over 20 billion credentials, and thousands of threat actor profiles, giving teams the ability to detect and respond to identity exposures long before traditional tools issue an alert. According to Verizon’s latest Data Breach Investigations Report, 88% of cyberattacks involve stolen credentials, and Flare’s data shows that 46% of stealer logs include corporate access credentials—making this level of visibility essential in today’s threat landscape.
“This partnership is about more than just market expansion. It’s about values alignment,” said Andrew Bartlam, VP of EMEA & Global Channels at Flare. “Flare and Distology both believe that cybersecurity is a mission—not just a market. Together, we’re enabling partners to embed external threat intelligence into their offerings, helping MSSPs scale threat visibility, and giving defenders the context they need to act before attacks hit.”
Shining a Light on the Dark Web
Distology continues to expand its curated portfolio of security vendors that enable proactive defence strategies. Flare joins a roster of vendors focused on providing partners with advanced capabilities—from identity protection and OT visibility to secure access and now, comprehensive dark web monitoring.
“The dark web is no longer fringe—it’s mainstream in the cybercrime economy,” Bartlam added. “Stolen credentials, leaked data, breached access—it’s all bought and sold in real-time, often well before traditional security tools pick up a single signal. Flare was built to close that gap and restore the advantage to defenders.”
The partnership underscores Distology’s continued commitment to working with emerging, innovative vendors that empower security teams with actionable intelligence, real-time insights, and full control over their digital risk footprint. For partners, the result is greater differentiation, faster incident response, and enhanced support for today’s most targeted customers.
