SonicWall's Cloud Secure Edge Revolutionizes Secure Connectivity for MSPs with Zero Trust Access

SonicWall Enhances Secure Connectivity for Managed Service Providers

In a fast-evolving digital landscape where cybersecurity is paramount, SonicWall has taken a significant step forward by introducing its managed service provider (MSP)-friendly solution, Cloud Secure Edge (CSE). Recently, ShowTech Solutions—a prominent IT services provider—chose SonicWall's innovative ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) solution, marking a pivotal shift in how managed service providers secure their networks.

A Game-Changer for MSPs

CSE stands out due to its comprehensive functionality specifically designed for the needs of MSPs servicing small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). ShowTech highlighted key features like Single Sign-On (SSO), Zero Touch/MDM deployment, and the flexibility to manage multiple service tunnels effectively. These functionalities have allowed ShowTech to enhance its service delivery and make security more intuitive.

Chase Kyler, a Systems Engineer at ShowTech Solutions, emphasized the importance of CSE in minimizing operational challenges. According to Kyler, the system has eased user frustrations associated with password resets and multi-factor authentication (MFA) by integrating varied identity providers for smoother authentication processes. This improvement has not only decreased the number of user calls related to VPNs but also streamlined the entire network access experience.

Seamless Remote Access

One of the standout aspects of SonicWall's solution is its ability to facilitate remote access without user intervention. This zero-touch deployment empowers administrators like Kyler to manage client systems effectively, ensuring reliable access to office resources even while working remotely. This is particularly important given that much of ShowTech’s client access depends on their WAN IP.

The overarching goal of CSE is to address common pain points faced by MSPs, such as complex VPN configurations and cumbersome authentication management. By implementing CSE, ShowTech can provide its clients with a robust zero-trust access experience tailored to modern security requirements.

Rising Demand for Intuitive Security Solutions

As SonicWall's Executive Vice President of Global Product Management, Chandro Prasad, noted, the CSE solution is rapidly gaining traction among partners in the MSP community. The inherent flexibility, coupled with robust security features and straightforward deployment processes, has become a compelling reason for providers to shift from traditional VPNs to CSE.

As organizations continue to embrace remote work and cloud technologies, the need for modern, scalable security architectures has never been more pressing. CSE emerges as an integral tool for navigating the complexities of today’s cybersecurity landscape, ensuring organizations can operate with confidence.

The SonicWall Advantage

SonicWall's dedication to equipping its partners with cutting-edge security solutions manifests in the tangible benefits reported by users, like ShowTech. Enhanced remote administration capabilities have simplified management tasks, leading to improved efficiency and productivity.
