SonicWall Furthers its Commitment to Empowering Managed Service Providers (MSPs) by Introducing ....
SonicWall 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."
