SonicWall announced the launch of the TZ80, a
groundbreaking security solution designed specifically for branch offices and small office/home
office (SOHO) environments. With its comprehensive, cost-effective package
of networking, access, and security solutions, the TZ80 is a subscription-based
device designed for service providers and value-added resellers (VARs) - and is
set to revolutionize the way they deliver cybersecurity.
The SonicWall TZ80 combines performance and price and
provides industry leading networking and security capabilities, with advanced
threat protection at a low total cost of ownership (TCO), making TZ80 ideal for
branch offices with remote workers, SOHO, IoT, and businesses with small
form-factor requirements. This best-in-class firewall platform features
built-in integration with cloud-native zero trust network access (ZTNA) and VPN
as a service (VPNaaS) for hybrid environments and is backed by world-class technical
support, available firewall management and network monitoring, and an
industry-first cyber threat warranty.
"The TZ80 is more than a firewall; it embodies the future of
cybersecurity for managed service providers and their customers," said
SonicWall President and CEO Bob VanKirk. "With this launch, we're transforming
network security by integrating on-premise, hybrid, and cloud technologies into
a cohesive solution. Our unified approach enhances security and performance
while protecting customer data with modern cloud management and backed by
expert services to keep our partners secure in today's evolving threat landscape."
MSPs can complement their existing firewall monitoring and
network operations center (NOC) to enhance their services with SonicWall's managed security
services, who work behind the scenes as a force multiplier for SonicWall
partners. The Managed Protection Services Suite (MPSS) bundle provides
management for TZ80 devices, with remote implementation, firmware and
vulnerability management, and system health monitoring to help MSPs ensure that
their customers employ best practices and stay up-to-date for the highest level
of protection in today's threat landscape.
"We've been looking for a solution like the TZ80, and it's
exciting to see SonicWall deliver precisely what we need," said President/CEO
and SonicWall partner Brian A. Reed of Firewalls.com. "This opens up
significant opportunities in the SOHO market for us, and the bundled cloud
native VPN adds tremendous value, while the pay-as-you-go model makes it even
more accessible. Additionally, the MPSS bundle enhances our offering and helps
us stay focused on the core of our business, ensuring our clients stay secure."
To further enhance the value proposition, SonicWall will
offer industry-first cybersecurity warranties for TZ80 and other SonicWall
front-line defense products certified by Cysurance. These warranties will help
supplement insurance coverage by providing cash for covering deductibles or
other out of pocket expenses before insurance kicks in.
SonicWall will offer warranties for TZ80 and other certified
products as follows:
- $100K for a qualifying
firewall
- $200K for a qualifying
managed firewall
Additionally, SonicWall is excited to introduce its latest
and new "3 &
Free" promotion. This promotion includes cloud native VPN licenses
along with a free next-gen firewall. When purchasing a 3-year Advanced
Protection Services Suite (APSS) or Essential Protection Services Suite (EPSS)
customers get more than just free firewalls - they also gain comprehensive
protection from latest cyber threats.
SonicWall remains dedicated to equipping its partners with
the tools they need to deliver security outcomes in a rapidly evolving
cybersecurity landscape. The TZ80 represent a significant leap forward in
delivering scalable, and integrated security solutions via our MSPs for branch
offices and SOHO environments.
