If you or your customers are still on SonicWall’s SMA100 appliances, it’s time to plan ahead. SonicWall has officially announced end-of-sale for the SMA100 series, with end-of-support just around the corner. While legacy SSL VPNs had once served their purpose in providing remote access, they are no longer adequate in providing the robust security and effectiveness that SonicWall is committed to providing our partners and customers to navigate today’s digital landscape.
If you’ve been managing and securing remote access for a while, you know the drill: clunky VPNs, frustrated end-users, and constant patching to avoid becoming the next headline.
But we've got good news: transitioning to something better just got a whole lot easier (and more affordable).
Starting now, eligible partners and customers can trade in any SMA100 appliance and receive up to 52% off a 3-year license of Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) -- SonicWall's all-in-one cloud-delivered remote access solution. With this promotion, you can receive up to 4x the number of users the eligible SMA trade in was licensed for at the time of trade-in.
Here’s the truth: legacy SSL VPNs are a liability. They weren’t built for today’s world. They’re difficult to manage, prone to vulnerabilities, and a pain to use for users. In fact, 56% of organizations experienced attacks exploiting SSL VPN vulnerabilities in 2024 alone. Worse still, these appliances are constantly in the spotlight with a steady stream of CVEs that demand urgent patching, each one a new risk, a new fire drill, and another stain on your team’s time.
You or your customers simply can’t afford that risk. We at SonicWall are dedicated to making sure all of our solutions deliver a seamlessly secure experience. Cloud Secure Edge is purpose built to eliminate these burdens of traditional SSL VPNs. With built-in Zero Trust Access, cloud-native scalability, and frictionless end-user experience, it enables secure and reliable access, whether you’re managing one business or a portfolio of clients.
Legacy VPNs are holding your organization back. Why not take advantage of a discount while upgrading your VPN to a Zero Trust access solution that is easy to adopt and delivers secure remote access immediately?
