From Our Desk: Celebrating Data Privacy Day: How the DPDP Act is Shaping India's Digital Future

Article By Mr. Debasish Mukherjee , Vice President Asia Pacific and Japan at SonicWall

In today’s world threats are more complex, dynamic and evolving while looking for better and more effective ways to achieve their goals.

To combat these threats, it’s imperative that solutions stay ahead at all times. For many managed service providers (MSPs), that is not possible as they may not have the correct knowledge, infrastructure or resources to respond.

SonicWall has been leveraging advanced technologies to continuously enhance its threat detection and response capabilities and offer comprehensive suite of solutions. To achieve this the company very actively empowers its partners and customers to stay ahead of cyber adversaries.

SonicWall’s Managed Security Services (MSS) brings the power of our 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC) to MSPs. Whether you need managed detection and response, and response (MDR), cloud detection and response (CDR) or network detection and response (NDR), SonicWall has you covered. One unified SOC monitors across each offering, so when you opt for more than one level of protection, the experts at our SOC have visibility into the other aspects of your network, allowing them to make rapid, precise decisions when it comes to protecting your customers. Our services are available a la carte, giving you the flexibility of getting everything you need and nothing that you don’t.

With SonicWall MSS, onboarding is easy regardless of how many endpoints you’re protecting. We don’t require a long-term commitment or a specific number of endpoints, so you can scale up and down as needed without worrying about the hassle of contract negotiations or minimums.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

When you’re constantly being bombarded by alerts, it can be tough to tell which ones are truly important for keeping your customers safe, and that’s where MDR comes in. MDR lets our SOC experts handle endpoint alerts for you – any time, any day. And when you back your endpoints with SonicWall, you can sleep peacefully knowing that if threat actors strike at midnight on a holiday weekend, we’re still watching vigilantly, and we’ll take immediate action in response to critical alerts. You won’t have to worry about coming in Monday morning to discover a threat actor has been wreaking havoc on one of your networks all weekend long. MDR is available for Capture Client, Sentinel One, Cylance and Windows Defender.

According to recent reports, 95% of all breaches are due to human error. SonicWall’s MDR provides twice monthly configuration audits to ensure your endpoint security tools are deployed properly and using the latest rule sets.
 

Cloud Detection and Response (CDR)

SonicWall’s Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) offering consists of two different offerings – Cloud Email Security (CES) and Cloud Threat Analytics (CTA). Each of these offerings provides incredible value individually, but the real magic happens when they’re paired.

• Cloud Email Security brings the protection of our meticulously fine-tuned machine learning algorithm watching over their entire email ecosystem for phishing emails and more. On top of preventing anything phishy from reaching users’ inboxes, it scans all emailed links and files for malware. Our AI can even be trained to recognize each organization’s unique communication style to make it that much more accurate while keeping your customers safe. CES on its own doesn’t include SOC monitoring, but you can add that on for an additional fee or by pairing it with Cloud Threat Analytics.
• Cloud Threat Analytics brings the power of our 24/7 365 SOC to multiple popular cloud-based business apps including Salesforce, Google Workspace, Office 365 and more. With CTA, our SOC monitors user activity and anomalies like suspicious logins, admin role changes, multi-factor authentication (MFA) changes and other suspicious behaviour. CTA even covers popular RMM tools like ConnectWise. With Cloud Threat Analytics, you can rest easy knowing that you’re defending your clients against account takeover attacks.
   

In the modern work world, we store so much information on cloud-based business apps. Combine that with the fact that 90% of attacks begin with email, and it’s easy to see the value Cloud Detection and Response can bring to you and your customers. While you can certainly utilize just one of these services if that’s enough to meet your needs, the protection they bring in tandem can’t be understated. The native security of most email services and cloud apps is simply not enough – SonicWall’s Managed Security Services makes up for their inefficiencies and provides you and your customer’s peace of mind.

Network Detection and Response (NDR)

Our Network Detection and Response (NDR) offering rounds out our Managed Security Services by backing your security perimeter devices like firewalls and switches with our 24/7 SOC. With SonicWall NDR, logs from your devices are forwarded to the experts at our SOC where they are monitored. When NDR is combined with MDR and CDR, it gives the SOC analysts a fuller picture of a cyber-incident, like knowing whether data has been exfiltrated. No matter what brand of firewall or other perimeter device you’re using, the SonicWall SOC can monitor and respond to alerts.

SonicWall has been a trusted security and network brand among MSPs and SMBs for 30+ years, and our Managed Security Services are built to continue that legacy oftrust. We understand that for many partners and SMBs, an in-house 24/7 SOC is out of reach from both a cost and manpower perspective. SonicWall’s Managed Security Services can help you deliver the best protection possible to your clients without breaking the bank.
