SonicWall has officially announced the launch of a products and services suite that are all purpose-built to empower, while simultaneously meeting the evolving needs of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their customers with end-to-end cyber protection and profitable service expansion.
Headlining this would be new next-generation mid-range and high-end firewalls (NGFW). Apart from it, SonicWall will bring forth Managed Protection Service Suite (MPSS) Firewall Management with 24/7 monitoring which makes it possible for MSPs of any size to offer managed firewall services.
Alongside that, there is the cloud-native SonicPlatform, well-equipped to dramatically cut down on cyber exposure, simplify operations, and maximize visibility, all backed by expert, always-on security teams as well as reinforced by a groundbreaking cyber warranty.
“SonicWall’s new standard for cybersecurity marks a pivotal moment in our evolution as an innovator expanding into a platform-based cybersecurity leader,” said Bob VanKirk, President and CEO of SonicWall. “As we continue to listen to our partners and evolve with their changing needs, we are consolidating fragmented tools into one secure, scalable, and smart platform. With this launch, we are bringing together industry-leading firewall threat performance, cloud-based ZTNA to replace legacy VPNs, co-managed NOC and SOC services and an industry-first cybersecurity warranty so MSPs have every tool they need to ensure the businesses they serve are safe.”
Talk about SonicWall’s latest assortment of tools on a slightly deeper level, we begin by expanding upon Next-Generation Firewalls (NSa 2800/3800) that translate to mid-enterprise high-performance NGFW built for more demanding SMB environments with advanced threat protection.
Next up, there is a solution focused on providing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). This would be a one-click ZTNA connector, designed to provide secure, simple, policy-based access with dramatically improved network performance and security versus legacy VPN.
Then, there is SonicWall’s Managed Protection Service Suite (MPSS). The stated MPSS delivers at your disposal a team of network security professionals to ensure firewalls are configured, deployed and updated correctly, thus providing the best threat protection possible.
Another component worth a mention here relates to the introduction of NSM 3.0, which happens to be a SaaS and on-premises platform, capable of offering unparalleled visibility and efficiency with harmonized cloud/on-box management.
Rounding up highlights would be the SonicWall AI for Monitoring & Insight (SAMI) that brings embedded AI/automation to streamline management, speed resolution, and reduce alert fatigue.
“Over the past two years, we’ve focused on listening to our partners and addressing their challenges as cyberattacks accelerate, response times lag, and cybersecurity solutions grow increasingly complex,” said Peter Burke, Chief Product Officer at SonicWall. “We have made dramatic improvements to the features and scalability of our firewall management platform and integrated them into a unified platform for account, security and network management that should simplify use and make partners more efficient. By consolidating end-to-end management and delivering key capabilities for scale and security, we’re empowering partners to focus on growth,”
Among other things, we ought to touch upon the availability of enhanced support through SonicSentry, SonicWall’s global Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) team, and MPSS.
