SonicWall, a global leader in cybersecurity, has announced the first release of multiplemanaged services tailored for MSPs.
SonicWall is enrolling endpoint vendors for its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution, as well as developing a co-managed security service for new and existing MSPs offering SonicWall Capture Client or Windows Defend.
Customers can look forward to an ever-growing number of managed security products that include all managed capabilities, from firewalls to cloud security, as the SonicWall platform expands. No single vendor can cover all aspects of cybersecurity alone – the threats are numerous, sophisticated and diverse. Co-operation and collaboration in the sector are indispensable to enable cybersecurity.
For this reason, SonicWall is committed to developing a cybersecurity platform that not only enables more seamless integration across its portfolio, but also includes third-party vendors/partners.
“I’m thrilled to witness the evolution our company is going through that allows us to expand managed services to our growing community of MSPs,” said Bob VanKirk, CEO and President of SonicWall. “We listened to our community and delivered an endpoint-agnostic solution. The reviews have been incredibly positive. Our commitment to empowering our partners is evident. We will continue to develop the world-class security platform needed for them to take advantage of the good times we are going through.” SonicWall’s MDR service gives organizations the flexibility to choose the right tool for their business by connecting with a variety of next-generation antiviruses (NGAVs). All NGAV users can receive the same 24/7 monitoring, threat and anomaly detection from SonicWall’s dedicated SOC team. Currently supported NGAVs:
- Capture Client, SonicWall’s advanced EDR solution
- Windows Defender
- SentinelOne
- Cylance
In many cases, MSPs do not have a team that monitors alerts around the clock, which means that delays can occur between receiving a critical alert and implementing the defensive measure. Alert fatigue can also be a problem, as it can be difficult to identify the true issues amid the noise of false positives. The inclusion of a SOC ensures 24-hour monitoring, so no alert is missed, no matter when it arrives. This allows for a more immediate response and, overall, better security for both MSPs and their customers.
SonicWall’s latest release aligns with its outside-in approach, offering partners a comprehensive, flexible portfolio that accelerates their growth and coincides with a global launch plan leveraging AI and other technologies to deliver a world-class experience at scale.
“Today’s MSPs increasingly need a managed security solutions platform, not point solutions,” said Michael Crean, Senior Vice President of Managed Services at SonicWall. “SonicWall now offers an integrated approach to end-to-end managed threat protection that enables MSPs to help their clients navigate the turbulent cybersecurity landscape with confidence and resilience. This represents a significant competitive advantage for them.”
SonicWall has reached an important milestone by adding managed services that will further drive partner growth. In addition, with the acquisition of Banyan Security, SonicWall has strengthened its cloud security platform for the modern remote workforce by adding Zero Trust security, a technology used by everything from leading Fortune 100 companies to small businesses that are replacing previous architectures with SSE solutions, including Zero-Trust Network Access.
