SonicWall Completes Acquisition of Solutions Granted

SonicWall, a global cybersecurity organization, has officially acquired Solutions Granted, Inc. (SGI), a distinguished Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) known for delivering exceptional cybersecurity solutions to numerous Managed Service Providers (MSPs). This strategic acquisition is a testament to SonicWall's unwavering dedication to its valued partners and marks a significant expansion of its portfolio.

With this integration, SonicWall now incorporates U.S.-based Security Operations Center services (SOCaaS), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and a suite of other managed services specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of MSPs and MSSPs. By embracing this organization, SonicWall reinforces its commitment to providing comprehensive cybersecurity solutions and further solidifies its position as a leader in meeting the evolving security demands of the digital landscape.

“IT teams have turned to MDR and other managed services to identify and triage digital threats – it’s a critical need we are now excited to offer,” said SonicWall President and CEO Bob VanKirk. “Together, SonicWall and Solutions Granted will empower cybersecurity and technology service providers with economical threat defense solutions and extend a world-class, comprehensive portfolio that streamlines managing security across customer environments with automated threat detection and response services.”

The acquisition is in harmony with SonicWall's external perspective strategy, offering partners a versatile and all-encompassing portfolio, and optimizing their growth trajectory.

The comprehension of the critical nature of MSPs/MSSPs operations by the organization has contributed to the development of an integrated approach for end-to-end managed threat protection, allowing customers to navigate the turbulent cybersecurity landscape with confidence and resilience, as stated by CEO Michael Crean of Solutions Granted. A platform of managed security solutions, rather than point solutions, is increasingly needed by today's MSPs and MSSPs. Services specifically designed for today's partners, offering them a distinct competitive edge, are delivered through the combination of SonicWall and Solutions Granted. This integrated solution has been meticulously crafted to acknowledge the nuanced needs of today's cybersecurity challenges, ensuring that partners are well-equipped to tackle the complexities of the digital security landscape.

Nowadays in contemporary cybersecurity partnerships, there is an increasing demand for exceptionally automated solutions capable of swiftly identifying and responding to emerging threats throughout the entire customer environment, spanning networks, endpoints, servers, and the cloud. The amalgamation of these solutions will harness cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology, delivering a distinctive, efficient, and highly proficient service to effectively combat evolving cybersecurity challenges.

“Having been a SonicWall partner for over 20 years and also having experience with Solutions Granted’s MDR and other managed services, this is a win for SonicWall’s portfolio,” said Dan Browne, President of DTM Consulting, an MSP and longtime SonicWall and SGI partner. “In this economic climate, vendors need to be as flexible as ever to help us provide answers to combat this ever-escalating threat landscape faced by managed service providers. The combination of SonicWall and Solutions Granted will help partners address the demands of providing cybersecurity solutions to clients around the world.”
