SonicWall at RSAC 2024: The Art of the Platform

The RSA Conference is the epicenter where the industry's brightest minds gather, foster enlightening discussions, and unveil groundbreaking solutions to elevate your organization.

During this year’s conference, which runs from May 6-9, we’ll be at Booth 5353 in the Moscone Center North Hall — where we’ll unveil our latest developments that showcase our commitment to serving our partner community through greater integration and interoperability.

RSAC’s Theme Meets SonicWall’s Strategy

This year’s theme, “The Art of Possible,” is about going beyond ones and zeros. More than ever, it’s about harnessing the power of collective strength, embracing the power of community, and driving towards making “the impossible seem more possible.” SonicWall also understands that to remain resilient and anticipate future challenges requires combining the wisdom of our instincts with the power of collaborative expertise and shared experiences. That’s why we recently enhanced our portfolio with the acquisition of managed services and secure service edge offerings.

These offerings are pivotal in SonicWall's cybersecurity platform approach, which will integrate our suite of solutions — including network, endpoint, wireless, cloud email and threat intelligence — under a single, multi-tenant portal. These advancements offer our partners and our customers the latest technology in a hybrid, remote world.

Greater Simplicity. Enhanced Flexibility. A Wave of Momentum.

Platformization in cybersecurity refers to the shift towards integrating various cybersecurity tools and technologies into a unified platform, rather than relying on a disjointed collection of individual solutions.

SonicPlatform is an innovative cybersecurity platform designed specifically for our Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs). It unifies all SonicWall products under a singular, integrated interface, and represents a significant stride toward a more integrated, efficient, and secure management ecosystem for SonicWall’s diverse product suite. It not only streamlines management tasks; it also fosters deep integration, enabling the sharing of contextual information across all enforcement points within the product family and with third-party vendors.

SonicPlatform incorporates several key features, including:

• Unified Console: A single, intuitive interface for managing all clients and their resources.
• Unified System Health Visibility: Comprehensive insights into the health and performance of clients' products – including maintenance needs.
• Enhanced Security Management: Advanced capabilities for detecting and mitigating threats.
• Expanded Inventory Management: Efficient management of clients' resources, including appliances, subscriptions, and licenses, across on-premises and cloud environments.

MSPs (Managed Service Providers) and MSSPs (Managed Security Service Providers) in particular will benefit from the advancements built into SonicPlatform: This comprehensive approach allows organizations to develop a more robust and effective cybersecurity posture in the face of evolving cyber threats by addressing several critical challenges in cybersecurity management. It’s designed to streamline processes, enhance visibility and control, improve threat detection and response, reduce costs, ensure compliance, facilitate integration and scalability, and mitigate the impact of skill gaps.

Underpinning its business momentum is the momentum SonicWall is seeing across its valued partner community. SonicWall’s ongoing commitment to provide meaningful initiatives to its partners is paying dividends in the form of key wins for our partners.
