Michael Crean currently leads the Managed Security Services team at SonicWall, where he came aboard following SonicWall’s acquisition of leading MSSP Solutions Granted Inc. Crean, a U.S. Army combat veteran, founded Solutions Granted Inc. in 2001. He saw the need to bridge the gap between IT and IS with solid security offerings and strong, cost-effective solutions. His relentless commitment to providing security that met corporate goals and compliance standards caused immediate growth; at the time of its acquisition, Solutions Granted provided managed security offerings to thousands of customers worldwide. He is now helping to empower MSP partners with managed detection and response (MDR) and other solutions.
