SonicWall Sweeps the 2026 CRN Annual Report Card Awards in Enterprise Network Security

We have some exciting news to share! SonicWall has been named the overall winner in the Network Security – Enterprise category of the 2026 CRN Annual Report Card (ARC) Awards. And we didn't stop there. SonicWall also took top honors in every subcategory: Product Innovation, Support, Partnership, and Managed & Cloud Services — a clean sweep of the entire category.

What makes this recognition especially meaningful is who it comes from. The CRN ARC Awards aren't judged by an editorial panel or an industry committee. They're determined by direct feedback from solution providers — the partners who work with us every day, deploy our products in real environments and rely on our support when it matters most. This is their vote of confidence, and we don't take that lightly.

Built for the Channel, Recognized by the Channel

SonicWall has always been a channel-first company. Winning across all four subcategories tells a complete story: partners are seeing innovation in our products, responsiveness in our support, genuine investment in the partnership experience, and a managed and cloud services offering built around how they actually run their businesses. That kind of across-the-board recognition doesn't come from one good quarter. It comes from consistent, deliberate investment in the programs and relationships that help our partners grow.

We've worked hard to make sure our enterprise-focused partners have the tools, the technical depth and the backing they need to deliver security at scale. Supporting partners through complex enterprise deployments, evolving threat landscapes and increasingly demanding customer expectations isn't simple. This award tells us the investment we've made in getting that right is landing.

"Winning a clean sweep of the Network Security – Enterprise category in the CRN ARC Awards is a reflection of the partners who trust us with their businesses every day," said Robert Humphrey, SonicWall's Chief Marketing Officer. "Their feedback drives everything we build, every program we launch, and every decision we make as a company. We're honored by this recognition and more committed than ever to earning it again next year."

Thank You

A clean sweep doesn't happen without exceptional partners. This recognition belongs as much to the solution providers who trusted us and took the time to share their feedback as it does to the SonicWall team. We're proud of what we've built together. And we're just getting started.
