SonicWall Furthers its Commitment to Empowering Managed Service Providers (MSPs) by Introducing SonicSentry MXDR
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire – 21 March 2025 - SonicWall today announced the introduction of SonicSentry MXDR, a managed solution for MSPs built to protect their clients across the entire attack surface with end-to-end managed threat protection. This unique set of offerings for network, endpoint and cloud security is backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) and Network Operations Center (NOC) that provides MSPs with advanced threat detection and response capabilities from the endpoint to the local network to the cloud. The SonicSentry MXDR service enables partners to deliver stronger, more proactive security services while helping customers enhance their cyber resilience at every step.
Most small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) depend on MSPs for their IT and information security needs. However, many MSPs need the extended resources of fully-staffed and trained 24/7 SOC and NOC facilities to help ensure customers are using best practices, to monitor networks, cloud applications and endpoints and to then quickly detect, investigate, and remediate cyber threats with greater context and accuracy. The overwhelming volume of security alerts alone make it difficult to distinguish between routine updates and critical threats. As cyber threats grow and compliance requirements become more complex, MSPs need a simpler, more effective approach to security practices and operations as they work to keep their clients secure.
SonicSentry is SonicWall's MXDR suite of offerings, featuring managed detection and response (MDR), MDR for cloud, and MDR for Network. Each service can be purchased individually with no contracts or minimums; all of them together comprise MXDR. The goal is to provide a unified approach to cybersecurity by integrating endpoint security, cloud security, and network protection with expert SOC monitoring. By incorporating industry-leading endpoint protection from the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform, SonicWall customers benefit from AI-driven detection and response and stronger cybersecurity resilience.
"SonicWall has always been committed to delivering cost-effective, enterprise-level security solutions to small businesses, which are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyberattacks," said SonicWall President and CEO Bob VanKirk. "That can only be accomplished by having the right people armed with the right tools. Our broad portfolio of solutions is now enhanced through our partnership with industry leading solutions like those from CrowdStrike. With CrowdStrike, we are ensuring that our SMB customers, and the partners who support them, have access to best-in-class endpoint protection. This effectively extends the bench of our MSP partners and meets them on their services journey to deliver stronger, more proactive security services while giving customers the confidence that their businesses are protected against cyber threats that were once a concern only for large corporations."
SonicWall Vice President of Sales, APJ, Debasish Mukherjee said, "MSPs across the world, especially in APJ, are under immense pressure to safeguard against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, often with limited resources. SonicSentry MXDR gives them the enterprise-grade security, AI-driven threat detection, and 24/7 support needed to close this gap. By simplifying security operations and reducing response times, we're enabling MSPs to strengthen their cybersecurity offerings and help businesses in the region stay resilient against evolving threats."
"MSPs face mounting challenges - managing complex and oftentimes subpar - security stacks, countering evolving threats, and securing SMBs with limited resources," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. "Through our SonicWall partnership, we're simplifying security, enhancing threat protection, and enabling MSPs to focus on what matters most — keeping their customers secure and helping SMBs thrive in an increasingly digital world."
As an additional benefit and for more peace of mind, customers of SonicSentry services who also are protected by a SonicWall firewall and Cloud Threat Analytics receive a cyber warranty and discounted, flat-rate cyber insurance, backed and managed by our partnership with Cysurance, provided the customer demonstrates best-practice controls are in place. Warranty coverages range from $500,000 for MDR customers using a firewall and Cloud Threat Analytics and coverage increase to $1,000,000 for those customers also deploying Cloud Email Security.
"SonicSentry is a great way for MSPs to differentiate themselves from their competitors," said SonicWall partner Nick Sabatini, Vice President of Managed Services at Ubeo. "The SonicSentry SOC becomes an extension of your team as an MSP, allowing you to provide immediate threat mitigation for your clients without having to go to the expense of building your own SOC."

CrowdStrike Unveils Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security
CrowdStrike has announced CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, the first unified solution to protect every identity – human, non-human, and AI agent – across the full hybrid identity lifecycle and every environment. Delivered today, without delays or integration complexity through the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon platform, the new offering protects identities across on-premises, cloud, SaaS, and workloads, removing security blind spots and replacing fragmented controls. CrowdStrike unifies initial access prevention, modern privileged access management (PAM), identity threat detection and response (ITDR), SaaS identity security, and agentic identity protection to stop identity-driven breaches across domains. 'Organizations need trusted identity security now, not months or years from now. CrowdStrike provides what customers need most in a unified platform: modern identity security by design, without architectural trade-offs and integration debt,' said Mike Sentonas, president, CrowdStrike. 'Access in today's enterprise is dynamic and unpredictable, with identities spanning users, machines, and AI agents operating across hybrid environments in real time. The Falcon platform was built to manage this complexity, providing the speed, scale, and precision organizations need to stop modern identity attacks.' Identity has become the primary path adversaries take to compromise an organization. Attackers increasingly exploit a broad spectrum of identities that span human users, service accounts (non-human identities), SaaS credentials, and now, autonomous AI agents. Each agent represents a superhuman identity with persistent access to systems, applications, and sensitive data. These non-human agent identities dramatically increase the size and severity of the attack surface: more identities across more environments, more privileges across more workflows, and more opportunity for adversaries to move faster than defenders can respond. Modern adversaries exploit this access to move seamlessly across domains – endpoint, identity, cloud, and SaaS – leaving organizations that rely on traditional IAM and legacy PAM tools exposed to cross-domain attacks. Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security closes the gaps that adversaries exploit with a unified solution that delivers continuous protection across identity types (human, non-human and AI agent), environments, and stages of the identity attack chain. From initial access to lateral movement, CrowdStrike protects human, non-human, and AI agents across hybrid environments, including on-prem, cloud, and SaaS. Powered by CrowdStrike's agentic AI, organizations gain autonomous threat analysis and response that helps them detect, investigate, and stop identity-based attacks in real time, through a single unified platform. Organizations can immediately strengthen their security posture without waiting for promised integrations, or accepting identity capabilities fragmented across multiple platforms that replicate the same complexity and security gaps as multi-vendor solutions. Delivered through a single lightweight sensor and managed from a single console, CrowdStrike gives defenders real-time visibility, dynamic access enforcement, and autonomous response across every identity and every domain. CrowdStrike's Unified Platform for Securing Every Identity Across Hybrid Environments Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security unifies four core capabilities to deliver end-to-end visibility, control, and protection of identities, privileges, and risk across the full attack chain in hybrid identity environments: Initial Access Prevention: Leverages real-time endpoint signals, industry-leading threat intelligence, and AI trained on trillions of events to authenticate trusted identities, dynamically blocking threats before adversaries can gain initial access.

Modern Privileged Access Management (PAM) : Enforces just-in-time access and eliminates standing privileges. Dynamically adjusts access based on real-time risk to secure sensitive systems across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. : Enforces just-in-time access and eliminates standing privileges.

SaaS Identity Security: Identifies misconfigurations, flags risky behaviors, and governs overprovisioned access – for humans, non-human identities, and AI agents – across cloud-first applications. Delivered through the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security replaces fragmented tools and disconnected workflows. Security teams gain real-time visibility, dynamic enforcement, and autonomous response across every identity and every domain. With rapid deployment and immediate time-to-value, organizations can strengthen their identity security posture today, without waiting for integrations or accepting security gaps.
