SONICWALL UNVEILS ZERO TRUST NETWORK ACCESS (ZTNA) TAILORED FOR MSPS
SonicWall announced
the launch of Cloud Secure Edge (CSE), offering an innovative suite of Zero
Trust Access offerings designed specifically for MSPs who are meeting customers
with increasingly remote work forces on their cloud migration journeys. With
flexible, cost-effective solutions for remote access and internet access, CSE
empowers organizations to securely connect employees and third-party users to
resources from any device and location with unparalleled simplicity and
security.
Born
from years of delivering innovative Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions for
mid-enterprise customers, CSE is a unified, cloud-delivered multi-tenant
platform for MSPs of all sizes. Customers will be able to choose from a range
of Secure Internet Access (SIA) and Secure Private Access (SPA) solutions that
replace legacy VPNs with cloud-native solutions that deliver network security
at all price points. For organizations that want to combine zero trust with
firewall protection, SonicWall is embedding a Private Connector in SonicWall
Next-Gen Firewalls (NGFW) to strengthen existing multi-layer security with a
zero trust architecture, providing unprecedented ease of deployment while
leveraging existing infrastructure.
“In
today’s dynamic threat landscape, where remote work and cloud adoption are
accelerating, organizations need a flexible security solution that can
seamlessly protect users and data across any network environment,” said
SonicWall Executive Vice President of Product Strategy Tarun Desikan. “Banyan
was an early innovator and market leader in delivering SSE to enterprises of
all sizes. CSE takes that experience and adds SonicWall’s network security
knowledge to launch highly flexible and cost-effective solutions – ensuring
that any organization can maintain high-performance connectivity while
safeguarding against evolving cyber threats. These innovative offerings,
designed in consultation with SonicWall MSPs, not only simplify deployment and
management but also enhance overall security posture, making them essential and
accessible tools for evolving IT environments.”
While
established vendors offer complex SSE solutions geared toward large
enterprises, CSE fills the gap experienced by SMEs by providing a
straightforward, scalable ZTNA solution ideal for MSPs and their mid-market and
SMB customers. CSE adds to our existing remote access solutions enabling
SonicWall to help any business no matter what phase they’re at in their
transition to the cloud.
“When
we acquired Banyan in January, we said we would empower partners by delivering
a security architecture for any stage of their customers’ evolving cloud
journey,” said SonicWall CEO and
President Bob VanKirk. “Cloud Secure Edge is the first step of that
delivery, with additional MSP-friendly components of the SSE stack to follow.
We are redefining SSE for the SME market by combining simplicity and management
with robust security, empowering organizations to embrace zero trust principles
effortlessly. Our goal is to provide our partners and their customers with
confidence that their data and resources are protected, regardless of where
their workforce operates.”
From
VPN as a Service (VPNaaS) to ZTNA to SSE, CSE leverages existing network
security infrastructure with a cloud-delivered solution that simplifies
deployment and management while offering robust security capabilities suitable
for organizations of all sizes. Because traditional appliance-based solutions
are no longer sufficient in today’s evolving landscape of cloud applications,
remote work, and mobile devices, SonicWall has designed a set of offerings that
integrate with SonicWall network security solutions to emphasize ease of
deployment and management and flexibility to address any cloud migration use
case.
“We
see firsthand the challenges organizations face in securing their increasingly
dispersed workforce,” said SonicWall
partner and CEO of Black Mountain Rama
Polefka. “Cloud Secure Edge addresses these challenges head-on by providing
a comprehensive set of solutions that are not only easy to deploy and manage
but also deliver robust security capabilities. Whether it’s replacing tradition
VPNs, delivering a cost-effective endpoint-based DNS offering or delivering a
full ZTNA architecture, this solution allows us to offer our customers who are
implementing a hybrid cloud migration a scalable and efficient way to protect
their critical assets while ensuring seamless connectivity for their remote
workforce.”
