Distology partners with Flare to boost threat intelligence tools

Distology has entered into a partnership with Flare to make external threat intelligence and dark web monitoring available to resellers and managed security service providers in the UK and Europe.

Distology's collaboration with Flare adds Flare's proprietary threat monitoring platform to the distributor's cybersecurity portfolio, offering security teams early warning of exposed credentials, ransomware planning, and other risks that extend beyond traditional network perimeters.

The Flare platform supplies real-time alerts, broad API integration, and workflows that support functions such as red teaming, executive monitoring, incident response, attack surface management, and vulnerability management. It is aimed at supporting security professionals needing actionable information on data and credential exposure, with reported comprehensive intelligence from stealer logs, leaked credentials, Telegram forums, and ransomware blogs.

Kobi Hunn, Solutions Engineering Manager at Distology, said, "We are really pleased to announce our partnership with Flare, as we evolve our cybersecurity strategy to the next level. 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."

Flare's threat intelligence capabilities are already being adopted by MSSPs and enterprise teams, and the partnership with Distology is expected to expand access to these capabilities across a broader base of security providers in the region. Through the new distribution arrangement, resellers can enhance their offerings with visibility into leaked corporate credentials, incidents of brand impersonation, and ransomware operator activities on forums not accessible to traditional tools.

The platform offers access to more than 70 million proprietary stealer logs, upward of 20 billion credentials, and thousands of threat actor profiles. This, according to the companies, enables security teams to identify and address identity exposures before they are flagged by other tools. Flare cited research indicating that 88% of cyberattacks involve stolen credentials, with Flare's own data showing 46% of stealer logs holding corporate access credentials.

Andrew Bartlam, Flare's Vice President for EMEA & Global Channels, commented, "This partnership is about more than just market expansion. It's about values alignment. 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."

Distology has prioritised expanding its portfolio to include security vendors focused on proactive defence, and Flare now joins vendors in areas such as identity protection, operational technology visibility, and secure access, bringing in capabilities for monitoring dark web activity in detail.

Bartlam also addressed the evolving role of the dark web: "The dark web is no longer fringe - it's mainstream in the cybercrime economy. 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 companies indicated that the partnership aims to support security teams with actionable, timely intelligence and visibility into digital risks, enabling more rapid incident response and broader protection for customers facing increasingly targeted threats.
