SonicWall Elevates MSP Platform with Cloud Secure Edge Integration

Empowering MSPs with advanced security tools and seamless integration.

by Sorosh Faqiri

We are very excited to announce the integration of Cloud Secure Edge’s (formerly Banyan Security) robust Secure Access Service Edge solutions into our MySonicWall MSP platform. This strategic move enhances SonicWall’s service offerings and also provides managed service providers (MSPs) easy-to-deploy advanced security tools to meet the evolving demands of modern businesses.

Strengthening Security with Zero Trust

The integration of Cloud Secure Edge brings Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles to customers in MySonicWall, enabling MSPs to enforce strict access controls based on user identity, device posture and contextual data. This approach reduces the attack surface and mitigates the risk of unauthorized access, ensuring that only verified users and devices can access resources using the principle of least privilege.

Key Benefits for MSPs

  • MSP-Centric ZTNA Solution: Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) enables MSPs to deliver ZTNA with simple deployment models and multi-tenant management capabilities on any operating system in any environment, ensuring all access requests are continuously evaluated, providing a higher level of security.
  • Seamless Integration: The addition of Cloud Secure Edge is designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing MySonicWall platform. This ensures a smooth transition for MSPs, allowing them to leverage new capabilities without disrupting their current operations.
  • Monthly Billing: The integration features the addition of Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) to the Service Provider Program to offer no-commitment, in-arrears billing which aligns with how MSPs charge their customers - with flexible and cost-effective license tiers.
  • Regional Compliance: The integration will feature a new Cloud Secure Edge data center hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, to ease adoption and data residency compliance with frameworks like GDPR.
  • New Packaging: Cloud Secure Edge features new Secure Private Access and Secure Internet Access bundles to ease adoption and provide flexibility in terms of mixing bundles and having unique counts for each. This also includes a new DNS filtering-only option to help comply with CIPA compliance and have endpoint anytime, anywhere protection.
  • Firewall Connector: On SonicWall Gen 7 firewalls, we now have the option to enable the Cloud Secure Edge Connector. This makes ZTNA adoption a matter of a few clicks in the private resources behind the firewall. Learn more.
  • Free Trial: Not convinced yet? A 30-day free trial is available in MySonicWall and includes up to 25 users with all the features unlocked.

Looking Ahead

We’re not done yet. Look out for Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) coming into SonicPlatform and continuous improvements to our SASE stack. SonicWall’s acquisition of Banyan Security earlier this year and the subsequent integration into MySonicWall marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to providing cutting-edge security solutions. By empowering MSPs with advanced tools and capabilities, SonicWall is helping businesses navigate the complexities of the modern threat landscape with confidence and ease.
