SonicWall has introduced its Generation 8 cybersecurity platform, unveiling nine new firewall models alongside key updates aimed at managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs). The Generation 8 portfolio incorporates built-in Zero Trust features, an embedded cyber warranty, and expanded unified cloud management to support partners in delivering scalable cybersecurity services. As demand for robust and simplified security solutions continues, SonicWall states that the enhancements are specifically designed to address current cybersecurity challenges faced by MSPs, MSSPs, and their customers. New product lineup The new portfolio consists of eight firewall models ranging from the compact TZ280 to the enterprise-focused NSa 5800. These devices are engineered to provide security and performance for environments that include small offices, distributed networks, and mid-sized enterprises. Each model is managed through the SonicWall Unified Management cloud platform and includes integrated Zero Trust capabilities alongside the latest SonicOS enhancements. SonicWall is also launching the industry's first embedded cyber warranty, which provides up to USD $200,000 coverage for each managed firewall as part of the Managed Protection Security Suite (MPSS). Additional options such as 24/7 co-managed security services - backed by SonicSentry's team of security professionals - are available to partners. Unified platform approach The Generation 8 update moves SonicWall's offering beyond hardware, promoting an integrated approach that combines appliances, software, managed services, and flexible billing. The unified platform is underpinned by deep third-party integrations to facilitate partners' scaling and provide security across different network and cloud environments. Notably, SonicWall Unified Management provides a single cloud console to oversee firewalls, network policies, access controls, and accounts, helping to lower the operational complexity associated with multi-tenant networks. Embedded with each firewall, SonicWall's Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provides built-in licenses to enable secure remote access without requiring additional investments. The platform is rounded out with co-managed security services such as real-time monitoring, patching, and monthly reporting. Partner and executive perspective Bob VanKirk, President and Chief Executive Officer of SonicWall, described the announcement as a fundamental development for customers and partners. "We're not just delivering a new set of high-performance firewalls, we're preparing our partners and their customers for the latest threats and market requirements," said VanKirk. "Our new firewall lineup is just one part of a broader, unified platform strategy. With SonicWall Unified Management, embedded ZTNA, the SonicSentry managed services team, and the industry's first built-in cyber warranty, we're helping partners shift from resellers to high-value security providers. This launch arms our partners with the tools they need to win more business and strengthen customer trust by providing market-leading cybersecurity protection." Jason Carter, Chief Revenue Officer at SonicWall, noted the importance of business support alongside technology enhancements. "Today's MSPs and MSSPs need more than just great technology, they need support scaling their business," said Carter. "From flexible licensing to co-managed security services, we're giving partners every advantage to grow margins, differentiate offerings, and meet their customers' evolving needs." Debasish Mukherjee, Vice President of Sales, APJ at SonicWall, highlighted regional market requirements. "MSPs and MSSPs especially in the APJ region are under increasing pressure to deliver stronger security outcomes while scaling efficiently across diverse markets. SonicWall's new Generation 8 platform directly addresses this challenge, combining intelligent firewalls, cloud-native management, and built-in Zero Trust into one, unified solution. It's built for today's real-world needs, enabling partners to lead with confidence while helping customers stay secure and ahead of evolving threats." Real-world use cases and recurring revenue The Generation 8 launch addresses a spectrum of use cases, from securing small and mid-sized businesses to multi-tenant, compliance-driven environments. The platform also provides co-management reporting for easier compliance, and its bundled warranty and optional cyber insurance extend up to USD $1 million for eligible offerings. All service options - including self-managed Advanced Protection Security Suite (APSS) and the co-managed MPSS - are available with monthly billing and no minimum or long-term commitment. This approach is designed to help partners align their offerings with client requirements while building consistent recurring revenue streams. SonicWall's Generation 8 cybersecurity platform is positioned to help service providers bridge the gap between increasing security demands and operational efficiencies, offering a unified solution for network and cloud threat protection.

SonicWall Furthers its Commitment to Empowering Managed Service Providers (MSPs) by Introducing SonicSentry MXDR
SonicSentry MXDR empowers MSPs of all sizes to protect their customers across the entire attack surface with enterprise-grade security including CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform, delivering simplicity and cost-effectiveness 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."
