United States. SonicWall confirmed its partnership with ADT Cybersecurity with the aim of offering an exclusive cybersecurity offering providing greater protection mainly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the growing volume of cyber attacks.
"In order to provide security that meets the ever-changing needs of our customers, we are constantly looking for new, effective and affordable options to expand our security offerings," said Jay Darfler, Senior Vice President of Emerging Markets for ADT. "For more than a century, ADT has been monitoring and responding to emerging threats to our customers. We will continue to do so with the help of cybersecurity pioneers like SonicWall, who enable us to deliver proven security solutions with high effectiveness as well as the lowest total cost of ownership."
Backed by SonicWall technology, ADT will deliver managed cybersecurity to small and medium-sized businesses, just as ADT provides end-to-end physical security solutions for the residential and commercial markets. This turnkey approach will make it easy and affordable for SMBs to protect their brand, networks, data, email, and everything for a single monthly price.
"The financial impact of a cyberattack can easily cause a company to close its doors," said SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner. "As these threats evolve, so must the tactics we employ to protect organizations of all sizes. Your number one focus should be on your business needs and operations, not online threats. We look forward to working with a world-renowned security vendor to deliver the tools needed to protect our customers."
The end-to-end offer for SMEs includes:
- Network security via SonicWall TZ series firewalls
- Secure email via SonicWall Hosted Email Security
- Encrypted Traffic Protection via SonicWall DPI-SSL Technology
- 24x7x365 support by ADT
- Management of routine patches, software updates and firmware updates via ADT
- SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) with Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) technology (patent pending)
"The Managed Security Services market is growing at a rapid pace as IT professionals seek external security experts to supplement their internal resources," said Martha Vazquez, senior research analyst at IDC. "IDC considers small and medium-sized businesses to be the sweet spot to meet their needs, as more than 50% of these companies plan to outsource their security features to a third party, such as an MSSP." These organizations are increasingly aware of security challenges as they become more dependent on the Internet and face advanced security threats."
For now, this trade agreement covers only the United States of America region, with no expansion to other regions of the world planned.
