SonicWall announced the launch of Cloud Secure Edge (CSE), offering an innovative suite of Zero Trust Access offerings designed specifically for MSPs who are meeting customers with increasingly remote work forces on their cloud migration journeys. With flexible, cost-effective solutions for remote access and internet access, CSE empowers organizations to securely connect employees and third-party users to resources from any device and location with unparalleled simplicity and security.
Born from years of delivering innovative Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions for mid-enterprise customers, CSE is a unified, cloud-delivered multi-tenant platform for MSPs of all sizes. Customers will be able to choose from a range of Secure Internet Access (SIA) and Secure Private Access (SPA) solutions that replace legacy VPNs with cloud-native solutions that deliver network security at all price points. For organizations that want to combine zero trust with firewall protection, SonicWall is embedding a Private Connector in SonicWall Next-Gen Firewalls (NGFW) to strengthen existing multi-layer security with a zero trust architecture, providing unprecedented ease of deployment while leveraging existing infrastructure.

“In today’s dynamic threat landscape, where remote work and cloud adoption are accelerating, organizations need a flexible security solution that can seamlessly protect users and data across any network environment,” said SonicWall Executive Vice President of Product Strategy Tarun Desikan. “Banyan was an early innovator and market leader in delivering SSE to enterprises of all sizes. CSE takes that experience and adds SonicWall’s network security knowledge to launch highly flexible and cost-effective solutions – ensuring that any organization can maintain high-performance connectivity while safeguarding against evolving cyber threats. These innovative offerings, designed in consultation with SonicWall MSPs, not only simplify deployment and management but also enhance overall security posture, making them essential and accessible tools for evolving IT environments.”
While established vendors offer complex SSE solutions geared toward large enterprises, CSE fills the gap experienced by SMEs by providing a straightforward, scalable ZTNA solution ideal for MSPs and their mid-market and SMB customers. CSE adds to our existing remote access solutions enabling SonicWall to help any business no matter what phase they’re at in their transition to the cloud.
“When we acquired Banyan in January, we said we would empower partners by delivering a security architecture for any stage of their customers’ evolving cloud journey,” said SonicWall CEO and President Bob VanKirk. “Cloud Secure Edge is the first step of that delivery, with additional MSP-friendly components of the SSE stack to follow. We are redefining SSE for the SME market by combining simplicity and management with robust security, empowering organizations to embrace zero trust principles effortlessly. Our goal is to provide our partners and their customers with confidence that their data and resources are protected, regardless of where their workforce operates.”
From VPN as a Service (VPNaaS) to ZTNA to SSE, CSE leverages existing network security infrastructure with a cloud-delivered solution that simplifies deployment and management while offering robust security capabilities suitable for organizations of all sizes. Because traditional appliance-based solutions are no longer sufficient in today’s evolving landscape of cloud applications, remote work, and mobile devices, SonicWall has designed a set of offerings that integrate with SonicWall network security solutions to emphasize ease of deployment and management and flexibility to address any cloud migration use case.
