Media OutReach Newswire – 24 March 2025 – SonicWall today announced continued business momentum powered by its relentless focus on partners, strategic partnerships and innovation across its portfolio. In addition to the company’s focus on Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs), SonicWall is experiencing unprecedented growth in its Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and other Cloud Secure Edge Solutions as further evidence that SonicWall is quickly becoming a market leader in the broader cybersecurity SMB space.

Together, we are not just keeping pace with industry demands; we are setting the standard for success in cybersecurity.”

By equipping MSSPs and MSPs with advanced threat protection, cloud-native security, and flexible service models, we enable them to safeguard businesses of all sizes while driving long-term success. As cyber threats evolve, our focus remains on providing the right tools, intelligence, and support to help our partners stay ahead, ensuring they can meet the security needs of their customers with confidence and efficiency.”

Going “Beyond the Wall”
“Last year was pivotal for SonicWall as we capitalized on the acquisitions we made in 2023 and integrated them into our portfolio, our platform and our most valuable asset – our partner ecosystem,” said SonicWall Chief Strategy Officer, Matt Neiderman. “As we have expanded our offerings to include key capabilities like ZTNA and MXDR, our focus has been on designing them and bringing them to market in a way that supports the needs of the MSP and broader partner community. Now more than ever, we have a more complete set of tools that partners of every size can leverage to protect their customers and compete in an evolving IT services market.”
SonicWall’s expanded offerings have strengthened its cybersecurity portfolio and market position, helping to enable its partners to protect their customers across the threat landscape. These additions have enabled the company to introduce flexible, subscription-based pricing tailored to MSPs, enhance managed security services for more comprehensive protection (i.e., protecting the protectors), and advance zero trust /cloud security solutions that support businesses in their digital transformation.
