SonicWall Acquires Managed Detection and Response Services Tailor-Made for MSPs/MSSPs

Acquiring Solutions Granted, Inc. expands SonicWall’s cybersecurity solutions creating a cost-effective, flexible, and technology-driven managed security offering

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 17 November 2023 - SonicWall, a global cybersecurity leader, today announced the acquisition of Solutions Granted, Inc.

(SGI), a top Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), delivering world-class cybersecurity solutions to hundreds of Managed Service Providers (MSPs). The acquisition reinforces SonicWall's commitment to its valued partners and extends its portfolio to include U.S.-based Security Operations Center services (SOCaaS), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and other managed services that are tailor-made for MSPs and MSSPs.

"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 aligns with SonicWall's outside-in approach, providing partners with a best-of-suite, comprehensive and flexible portfolio that accelerates their growth.

"Solutions Granted's understanding of the critical nature of MSPs/MSSPs operations has helped us create an integrated approach for end-to-end managed threat protection that enables customers to navigate the turbulent cybersecurity landscape with confidence and resilience," said CEO of Solutions Granted Michael Crean. "Today's MSPs and MSSPs increasingly need a platform of managed security solutions rather than point solutions. The combination of SonicWall and Solutions Granted delivers services specifically designed for today's partners – giving them a distinct competitive edge."

Today's cybersecurity partners need highly automated solutions to quickly identify and respond to new threats across the entire customer environment – including network, endpoints, servers, and cloud. This combined offering will also leverage the latest in AI to provide a differentiated, effective, and highly proficient service.

"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 solutions to combat this ever-escalating threat landscape faced by managed service providers. The combination of SonicWall and Solution Granted will help partners address the demands of providing cybersecurity solutions to clients around the world."
