Manage Your SonicWall Firewall Easier Than Ever Before with Managed Protection Security Suite

Let our dedicated team of experts help ensure your firewall is always giving you the best protection

As cyber threats continue to evolve, staying mindful about cyber defenses is crucial to defending businesses. The perimeter of a network is still a constant target, making firewalls an important security tool that all organizations should have across their offices and other locations.

However, threat actors are forever evolving their tactics, techniques and procedures. In order to provide the best protection, firewalls must be monitored and maintained with the latest firmware updates to ensure robust protection against the latest threats. Staying on top of this monitoring and management can be difficult to impossible for many organizations – and that’s where SonicWall comes in.

SonicWall’s Managed Protection Security Suite (MPSS) is a security service that adds dedicated firewall monitoring and management from our SonicSentry team to Gen 7 and newer firewalls. Our team sends notifications when your firewall goes offline or is changed locally, and will handle updates and configuration changes for you. The SonicSentry team will always let you know when a configuration change or update is needed and schedule the change at a time that’s convenient for you. MPSS also provides for enhanced analytics and reporting, including monthly health checks.

What You Get with MPSS: Expert Firewall Management and More

With MPSS, you:

Always Know the State of Your Firewall: As crucial as firewalls are to network security, they can only provide protection if they’re online and using the configuration you expect. MPSS provides for 24/7 automated notifications of firewall events, including going offline or being changed locally.

Never Miss an Update: Firewalls are only as good as their configuration. Ensuring your devices have the latest firmware updates and patches is a basic cyber hygiene practice that makes a big difference in staying secure, but can often be tedious for businesses to spend time on. With MPSS, the SonicSentry team will handle updates and configuration changes for you. They’ll reach out to you when a firmware update is ready to be applied, and work with you to apply the update at a time that’s convenient for you and your business.

Health Checks and Productivity Reports: Ever wonder how your firewall is protecting you? The monthly firewall health checks provided with MPSS can show you all the threats your firewall has stopped over a 30-day period, and the included 30-day reporting and analytics may help you meet certain compliance requirements. Productivity reports show you the top websites and apps being accessed on your network, allowing you to block sites that may be affecting your network’s or team’s bandwidth at the network level.

Enhanced Support: With MPSS, you get dedicated, enhanced support, provided directly by the SonicSentry team. They’re available to help with configuration changes and other issues. After-hours support is available for critical outages.

Embedded Cyber Warranty: Every firewall with MPSS has an embedded $200,000 cyber warranty, backed by Cysurance. In the event of a qualifying cyber incident, this warranty can help you cover your cyber insurance deductible and other necessary business expenses. If you also use other SonicWall services, the warranty may cover even more.

MPSS is currently available for all Gen 7 and newer firewalls. While it is currently only available in North America, it will roll out soon to Europe and the rest of the world.
