Reinforces its Commitment to Partners
Bangalore, May 22, 2024 — SonicWall has recently expanded its cybersecurity portfolio to include managed security services and cloud edge security solutions tailored for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs). This expansion is part of SonicWall’s ongoing commitment to its partners.
The new solutions, along with the cybersecurity management platform SonicPlatform, were introduced at the RSA Conference 2024 in San Francisco, California, earlier this month.
“SonicWall’s top priority remains our commitment to partners and customers worldwide,” said SonicWall CEO and President Bob VanKirk. “We’re excited about the momentum in our business, driven by our focus on external insights and executing on them. The SonicPlatform is a testament to this approach, developed in response to partner feedback.”
Debasish Mukherjee, Vice President, Regional Sales, Asia Pacific Japan at SonicWall, added, “As a 100% partner-driven company, we recognize the achievements of our partners globally. SonicPlatform supports their dedication to delivering exceptional cybersecurity in today’s evolving threat landscape.”
Partner Momentum
SonicWall’s growth is fueled by its expanding partner community, with significant new partner wins in recent quarters. Key initiatives for partners include:
– New Customer Deal Registration: Partners receive additional discounts for new customer deals.
– Tier Match +1: For a limited time, partners can upgrade their SonicWall tier status beyond their current status with competing firewall manufacturers.
– Exclusive Partner Support: Offering priority access to technical support and tier two subject matter experts, alongside flexible subscription pricing.
These initiatives have led to a 42% increase in partner growth year-over-year, with 63% of new partners engaging within the same quarter they joined. Partners in the Service Provider Program grew by 91% year-over-year.
