Smarter Protection, Built To Be the MSP and MSSP Platform of Choice: SonicWall’s New Gen 8 Firewalls and Unified Environment

by Jordan Riddles

Empowering partners with zero trust, co-managed services, and a fully integrated approach to scalable, modern security.

When you’re in the business of keeping businesses safe, complexity isn’t a badge of honor, it’s a barrier. At SonicWall, we know MSPs and MSSPs don’t need more tools. They need the right ones: powerful, integrated and built to scale without the usual overhead.

That’s why our latest release delivers exactly what partners have been asking for (and maybe a few things they didn’t know they needed): nine new Gen 8 firewalls, embedded Zero Trust access, unified management and the ability to fully offload firewall operations to SonicWall’s SonicSentry team through our Managed Protection Security Suite (MPSS).

MPSS brings co-managed services to the forefront, giving partners the freedom to scale without adding headcount. Whether you’re short on engineers or simply want to refocus your team on customer relationships, MPSS ensures your firewalls stay updated, monitored and optimized, all backed by expert eyes.

With flexible licensing options that make growth feel less like a gamble and more like a plan, this release is built to support everything from small offices to multi-tenant environments. It’s smarter protection, without the overhead.

Built for Scale, Performance, and Real-World Partner Needs

This release includes nine new firewalls, from the ultra-compact TZ280 to the high-performance NSa 5800, each engineered for specific partner use cases, including distributed environments, hybrid workforces and mid-sized enterprises. Every model is equipped with cloud-native management via SonicWall Unified Management, built-in Zero Trust capabilities, the latest SonicOS enhancements and our industry-first embedded cyber warranty. When combined with MPSS, each firewall can also be co-managed by SonicWall’s SonicSentry team, offering partners a powerful new way to scale services with confidence.

The Platform Advantage: More Than Just Hardware

This launch isn’t just about new appliances; it’s a step forward in delivering a unified cybersecurity solution tailored for modern MSPs. With integrated services, flexible billing and deep third-party integrations, SonicWall is helping partners move from product resellers to trusted service providers.

Key capabilities include:

  • SonicWall Unified Management: Manage firewalls, policies, access, and accounts from one pane of glass.
  • Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Secure cloud access built directly into every firewall.
  • Co-managed security with SonicSentry: Reduce daily workload while delivering high-value outcomes to customers.
  • Monthly billing options: Predictable pricing, no minimums or long-term commitments.
  • Compliance and reporting: Built-in monthly health reports and optional cyber insurance coverage up to $1M.

Designed to Help Partners Grow

Today’s MSPs and MSSPs don’t just need great technology—they need tools that help them scale, differentiate and build recurring revenue. That’s why we’ve embedded more value than ever into our offerings: simplified management, zero trust baked in and optional co-managed services to reduce overhead and risk.

Whether you're adding new customers or expanding into new markets, this release gives you everything you need to grow with confidence and deliver real peace of mind not just to your customers, but to yourself.
