SonicWall's ZTNA Solutions Tackling Biggest Cybersecurity Challenges
Born from years of delivering innovative Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions for enterprise customers, CSE is now a cloud-native ZTNA solution that fits hybrid and cloud network use cases. SonicWall's CSE fills a critical gap by providing a scalable, easy-to-deploy ZTNA solution ideal for MSPs serving small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) as well as those supporting large enterprise deployments.
'SonicWall's introduction of our ZTNA solution has been a complete game-changer for the partners and customers we serve,' said SonicWall CEO and President Bob VanKirk. 'CSE enables them to navigate the complexities of remote work and cloud migration with ease, and our momentum this year reflects our commitment to innovation and our deep understanding of the needs of MSPs and the businesses they protect. We are excited to build on this momentum by further enhancing our offerings with more frictionless deployments along with key SSE enhancements. Together, we are redefining how businesses approach secure network access, and what's most exciting is that we're just getting started.'
From VPNaaS to ZTNA to SSE: A Seamless Security Evolution
CSE enables organizations to modernize their remote access infrastructure by offering the flexibility of deploying VPN as a Service (VPNaaS), ZTNA or SSE in hybrid and cloud networks. Designed to enhance both VPN performance, CSE ensures businesses can seamlessly transition to a more secure, scalable, and flexible network security model.
Customers have lauded CSE for its intuitive interface, seamless integration, and robust security features, leading to high satisfaction ratings and strong retention rates. In addition, the solution has received industry recognition from cybersecurity experts and analysts, further validating its effectiveness in defending against evolving cyber threats. Our partners and customers can seamlessly adopt these new technologies by leveraging their existing install base, enabling a smooth transition from on-prem to hybrid cloud without the need for a costly rip-and-replace approach.
ShowTech Solutions, one of SonicWall's leading partners, has already experienced remarkable success leveraging CSE to enhance security for its clients.
'CSE has transformed the way we support our clients at ShowTech Solutions,' said ShowTech Solutions Systems Engineer, Chase Kyler. 'Its seamless integration and security capabilities empower us to provide our customers with the flexibility and protection they need during their cloud migration journeys without the need for additional hardware or the challenges of legacy SSL/VPN offerings. This year has been remarkable as we've seen firsthand how CSE addresses the challenges of an increasingly remote workforce.'
Looking Ahead
As businesses continue to prioritize secure cloud adoption and remote workforce enablement, SonicWall remains dedicated to evolving its solutions to meet emerging cybersecurity challenges via hybrid or full cloud native deployments with a more robust set of SSE offerings designed to deliver a broad set of security services at the cloud edge as a compliment to or in place of traditional appliance-based solutions. CSE's rapid growth underscores its role as a cornerstone technology for organizations looking to secure their digital transformation efforts. 0 0

Sophos Launches MSP Elevate For Partner Growth
Sophos has launched MSP Elevate, a new business-accelerating program for managed service providers (MSPs). With the new program, Sophos enables MSPs to expand their business with high-value, differentiated cybersecurity offerings that elevate their customers' cyber defenses and rewards growth with additional investment to fuel further success. With the increasing complexity and sophistication of today's cyberattacks, organizations are increasingly turning to MSPs for 24/7, human-led monitoring and management of their cybersecurity environments. This has made Managed Detection and Response (MDR) a major focus for MSPs with 81% currently offering a MDR service, according to the Sophos MSP Perspectives 2024 report. MSP Elevate helps MSPs to differentiate themselves as a high-value provider to customers by delivering unique business-enhancing benefits, including an exclusive high-value Sophos MDR service offering. Managing multiple cybersecurity platforms is a major overhead for MSPs and consumes valuable billable hours. MSPs estimate that consolidating on a single platform would slash their day-to-day management time by 48%. MSP Elevate includes Network-in-a-Box bundles that enable MSPs to manage the full network stack through the unified Sophos Central platform, freeing-up staff for business generation activities. Furthermore, the single biggest perceived risk to MSP's businesses is the shortage of in-house cybersecurity expertise*. Sophos' network solutions respond automatically to threats across the customer environment, enabling MSPs to elevate their customers' defenses without adding workload. 'MSP Elevate is the first of many business-driving MSP programs following the powerhouse union of Sophos and Secureworks,' said Chris Bell, senior vice president of global channel, alliances and corporate development. 'As a channel-first organization that defends more than 250,000 customers of MSPs, we are constantly looking for opportunities to reward our partners and invest in their success when they grow their business with us. MSP Elevate fuels long-term growth for our partners by providing MSPs with exclusive solution access, discounts, rebates and training to deliver the best possible value to customers.' Sophos MSP Elevate program benefits include: Exclusive Access to the Sophos MDR Bundle for MSP: Includes access to Sophos MDR Complete premium service tier with 24/7 incident response, 1 year data retention, Sophos Network Detection and Response (NDR), and all Sophos integration packs, enabling defenders to leverage all available telemetry from across the customer environment to accelerate threat detection and response. Simplified Sales Process: Speeds up time to deployment and reduces MSP overhead. With the new MDR Bundle for MSP, partners can quickly and easily allocate a single SKU to the customer for all their current and future MDR needs. Discounted Network-in-a-Box Hardware Bundle: Access to Sophos' advanced network security solutions, including Sophos Firewall, Sophos Switch and Sophos Wireless Access Points at a significant discount. These products work together to automate threat response and are managed through Sophos Central. Growth-Based Rebates: As part of our commitment to grow with and invest in our partners, the program will recognize and reward MSPs that increase their Sophos MSP monthly billings. Architect-Level Training Courses: Equip MSPs to increase their in-house services delivery capabilities with trainings on Sophos Endpoint and Sophos Firewall. Invite-Only Access to Sophos Summits: Gain exclusive access to hands-on training and enablement, Ask the Experts sessions, attend exclusive Sophos events and meet with Sophos executive leadership to influence the Sophos roadmap and MSP strategy. Future benefits: Introduction of new program benefits to increase MSP's profitability, customer defenses and overall value as a service provider. 'MSP Elevate enables MSPs to quickly deploy a comprehensive MDR service that eliminates blind spots by leveraging all available telemetry from across the customers' environment,' said Raja Patel, chief product officer, Sophos. 'This enhanced visibility accelerates threat detection and response while delivering improved return for customers on their existing technology investments. Furthermore, the service adapts seamlessly as the technology environment evolves over time, future-proofing customers' defenses and providing both commercial and cybersecurity peace of mind.' MSP Elevate is a non-exclusive commitment to sell Sophos' best-in-class cybersecurity solutions available on the Sophos Central platform, including Sophos MDR, Sophos Endpoint powered by Intercept X, and Sophos Firewall. To access the program benefits, MSPs need to commit to a minimum monthly spend for a 12-month period. As a pre-requisite to joining MSP Elevate, partners need to be part of the MSP Flex program, which enables MSPs to offer Sophos solutions on a monthly billing basis. 'Joining MSP Elevate is a no-brainer. This new program adds further rocket fuel to the MSP growth trajectory we've enjoyed with Sophos over the last 17 years. Not all MDR offerings are the same, and I'm excited to be able to offer a superior service based around value and quality of outcomes that will elevate my customers' defenses and differentiate my business in this increasingly crowded market,' said Craig Faiers, sales director, Arc. With 80% of MSPs offering MDR through a specialist vendor for delivery*, partners can choose to have Sophos fully deliver the MDR service or to use Sophos to augment in-house teams, including for the provision of out-of-hours coverage. This is particularly important considering 88% of ransomware attacks start outside of standard business hours, according to Sophos' Active Adversary report. Sophos MDR is the service most trusted by MSPs to secure their clients and currently defends more than 18,000 MSP-managed customer environments against advanced threats, including ransomware. This unmatched breadth of customer coverage delivers unparalleled insights into attacks on MSP-managed environments that are continually leveraged to update customers' defenses in real-time, optimizing their protection from ever-evolving attacks. 0 0
