TD SYNNEX Expands Cloud Labs with Microsoft Security
Security conversations are becoming more complex and more critical across the partner ecosystem. Identity attacks are increasing, compliance requirements are tightening, and customers expect partners to demonstrate real-world security outcomes, not just product features.
To help partners navigate this shift, TD SYNNEX has expanded its Global Cloud Labs offering with a new Microsoft Security immersive experience, designed to enable hands-on learning, solution demonstration, and commercial acceleration around Microsoft’s security stack. Our Cloud Labs allow partners to demonstrate value and outcomes in a practical way.
From product discussion to real security scenarios
One of the biggest challenges in security sales is translating abstract risks into tangible value. Demonstrating Microsoft Security often requires multiple licenses, complex configuration, and deep technical knowledge, making it difficult to show outcomes in a short customer conversation.
The Microsoft Security Cloud Labs experience addresses this by providing a preconfigured, scenario-driven environment where partners can explore and demonstrate security capabilities in a structured and repeatable way.
Rather than relying on slides alone, partners can show how identity protection, threat detection, governance, and compliance work together in practice, helping customers better understand both the risk and the solution.
What the Microsoft Security Cloud Labs Experience Includes
The Cloud Labs experience for Microsoft Security is built around six hands-on use cases, each mapped to real-world customer scenarios.
- 1. Identity & Access Control
Partners explore how identity breaches occur and how Microsoft Entra ID capabilities can mitigate them, including Conditional Access, MFA, Smart Lockout, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Identity Protection, and Secure Score. - 2. Managing Security Services
This scenario focuses on operational security management using Microsoft Defender for Office 365, including Safe Attachments, Safe Links, email threat mitigation, and working within the Microsoft 365 Security portal. - 3. Data Governance
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Purview helps partners demonstrate data discovery, classification, retention policies, in-place archiving, and lifecycle governance.
- 4. Threat Protection
Partners practice end-to-end threat protection using Microsoft Defender XDR, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Cloud Apps, alert policy configuration, phishing simulations, and investigation workflows. - 5. Implementing Compliance in Microsoft 365
This scenario covers compliance-focused capabilities such as Insider Risk Management, Information Barriers, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and custom compliance policies. - 6. Managing Compliance in Microsoft 365
Partners learn how to operationalize compliance over time, including monitoring, policy escalation paths, and ongoing governance activities.
Designed for Partner Enablement and Commercial Impact
Our Microsoft Security Cloud Labs is more than a technical training environment; it is a commercial acceleration engine.
- Preparing partners before customer-facing engagements
- Supporting Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Defender Suite opportunities
- Enabling upsell conversations from Business Standard to Business Premium
- Providing consistent, repeatable security demos without complex setup
TD SYNNEX is the only distributor offering this level of automated, security-focused lab experience, combining prebuilt tenants, dummy data, and automated provisioning to reduce friction for partners.
Moving Forward
With Microsoft Security now part of the Global Cloud Labs portfolio, partners have access to an immersive environment that brings Microsoft’s security capabilities to life, helping bridge the gap between technical depth and commercial relevance.
For partners looking to strengthen their security practice, accelerate Microsoft 365 Business Premium adoption, or improve customer understanding of Microsoft’s security stack, Cloud Labs provides a practical foundation to build from.
