SonicWall unveils cyber suite for MSPs with USD $2 million warranty

SonicWall has introduced a suite of cybersecurity solutions tailored for managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients, encompassing new firewalls, management services, and a cloud-native platform.

Central to the suite is a new range of next-generation firewalls (NGFW), designed primarily for medium-sized businesses and equipped with advanced threat protection capabilities. These products aim to help MSPs deliver robust, layered security while supporting their efforts to provide profitable, scalable services.

The suite also features the Managed Protection Service Suite (MPSS), which offers MSPs access to SonicWall's SonicSentry Network Operations Center (NOC) team. This includes around-the-clock firewall management and monitoring, aiming to ensure firewalls are correctly configured, deployed, and updated. The suite is intended to be comprehensive, covering all aspects of cyber protection from deployment through to ongoing management.

SonicWall's latest offerings are built upon the cloud-native SonicPlatform, intended to reduce cyber exposure, simplify security operations, and provide centralised visibility for partners. The solutions are backed by a cyber warranty, as well as support from dedicated security teams working around the clock to provide continuous protection and response.

SonicWall President and Chief Executive Officer Bob VanKirk commented on the scope and intention of the new launch, stating, "SonicWall's new standard for cybersecurity marks a pivotal moment in our evolution as an innovator expanding into a platform-based cybersecurity leader. 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, in a scalable and cost-effective way."

The suite offers a selection of features intended to be secure, scalable, and centralised, including the new NSa 2800 and 3800 firewalls built for higher-demand environments, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) with a one-click connector for improved secure access, and co-managed NOC services for firewall management. The MPSS package is positioned as an essential service for maintaining optimal firewall protection standards.

Scalability is addressed through SonicWall NSM 3.0—a management platform available as both Software-as-a-Service and on-premises, aimed at providing efficient and unified management across multiple security devices. The platform supports integration with third-party solutions to facilitate efficient operations and management for MSPs overseeing multiple clients.

SonicPlatform, the cloud-native management environment, centralises oversight of SonicWall appliances and services, combined with SonicWall AI for Monitoring & Insight (SAMI), which uses automation to streamline event management, speed up incident response, and reduce unnecessary alerts that contribute to fatigue among security teams.

Peter Burke, SonicWall's Chief Product Officer, highlighted the company's focus on simplifying operations for its partners. He stated, "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. As a result, 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, expanding their services, increasing profitability, and delivering greater value to their customers."

SonicWall's new portfolio also provides access to SonicSentry, its Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) team, broadening support with continuous monitoring, regular health checks, proactive patch management, and support for optimal firewall deployment. The MPSS co-managed services are especially positioned to help MSPs increase the range and depth of their offerings without significant resource investment.

Another element of the launch is a partnership with insurer Cysurance, providing an industry-first tiered cyber warranty of up to USD $1 million for qualifying deployments, doubling to USD $2 million through MPSS-managed environments. This warranty is designed to offer added assurance and trust for organisations implementing SonicWall's solutions.

Meriplex Channel Manager Greg Starr commented on the support the new services provide for channel partners and MSPs, saying, "SonicWall's MPSS, will allow MSPs to deliver top-tier security to customers without the burden of constant firewall management. By offloading the complexities of firewall management, SonicWall partners will be able to deliver premium security services backed by 24/7 expert support and enhanced cyber warranty protection. This not only strengthens client trust but also opens new revenue opportunities for us as a partner, allowing us to scale and grow more efficiently."

Designed specifically for MSPs, SonicWall's solutions offer multi-tenant management architecture, subscription licensing with flexible billing options, ecosystem integrations, and comprehensive coverage from endpoint devices to network edge.

The latest announcement extends SonicWall's offerings in cybersecurity, aiming to equip partners and service providers with technical capabilities to manage growing client demands while maintaining security and profitability.
