SonicWall's Strategic Partner Focus Fuels Growth

In a remarkable display of resilience and strategic vision, SonicWall has emerged as a significant player in the cybersecurity landscape, largely fueled by its unwavering commitment to partners and innovation. Announced on March 19, 2025, SonicWall's latest business momentum showcases a transformative year wherein the company has been cultivating relationships with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs).

Over the past few years, SonicWall has not only maintained its reputation for excellence in firewalls and network security appliances but has also expanded its offers to meet the evolving challenges facing the small to medium-sized business (SMB) market. With over 17,000 partners globally, SonicWall is benefiting from an ecosystem that emphasizes cloud-native solutions and co-managed security services, bolstered by the introduction of Managed XDR (Extended Detection and Response) systems, expertly backed by the SonicSentry cybersecurity team available around the clock.

A Partner-First Approach

"SonicWall's inside-out approach, initiated almost three years ago, uniquely positions us to effectively anticipate and meet the constantly changing needs of our partners and customers," said Bob VanKirk, SonicWall's CEO and President. This statement speaks volumes about SonicWall's dedication to a partner-first mentality, which has proven critical to its success in a rapidly evolving digital environment. By listening closely to partner feedback and rolling out solutions designed specifically for MSPs, SonicWall is not just keeping pace with the industry but setting standards for success in cybersecurity.

The company has reported impressive financial results characterized by sustained growth. Some highlights include:

• - Managed Security Services (MSS) Bookings: Showing a staggering 68% year-over-year growth.
