From email to Slack and Salesforce, modern businesses run on cloud apps — but their built-in security only goes so far. Kicking off the year, January’s CAFÉ TECH session to see how SonicSentry MDR for Cloud pairs advanced technology with expert SOC monitoring to deliver continuous protection across your cloud environments.
You’ll discover how 24/7 threat detection and response can stop attackers before they move deeper into networks, flag anomalous admin behavior, and prevent phishing and other cloud-based attacks. With 83% of critical alerts originating from cloud apps, MDR for Cloud gives you the visibility, speed, and confidence to keep your business — and your customers’ — secure.

Secure What You Depend On — with SonicSentry MDR for Cloud

Ready to get the most out of SonicWall’s Managed Protection Security Suite (MPSS)?
Join December’s CAFÉ TECH session to learn how to quickly onboard MPSS and take advantage of recent MySonicWall enhancements that make the process smoother than ever.
We’ll walk you through each step to ensure your firewalls are fully protected by the SonicSentry NOC team and that your $200K cyber warranty is properly activated. Discover how MPSS delivers expert, always-on firewall management for Generation 7 and 8 firewalls — giving you and your customers complete confidence that every device is configured to defend against the latest threats.

Get Onboard with MPSS: Simplified Setup, Maximized Cyber Protection, and Peace of Mind.

Security can be annoying. From the alerts that security tools send out to the policies that can slow down simple tasks like logging in, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and wonder if any of this really matters. But the simple truth is, it does. It’s true that endpoint tools are noisy and send a ton of alerts, some of them being false positives, but missing a critical alert can lead to a major cyber incident. Disabling multi-factor authentication and other security shortcuts can also make it easier for threat actors to get a foothold
Join us for an informative webinar where we’ll discuss managing alert fatigue and backstopping your security teams and policies to make sure best practices are being followed.

The Human Factor in Cybersecurity: Am I Too Overwhelmed to Follow Best Practices?

As networks grow, so does the complexity of managing firewalls, endpoints, and other security solutions. Constantly switching between tools slows response times, increases costs, and introduces risk. In fact, MSP Today reports that 75% of MSPs use four or more tools and 94% are actively seeking a unified cybersecurity platform. 

Centralized management doesn’t just solve these challenges; it strengthens security. By consolidating every device and policy under one roof, IT teams gain a unified view of alerts and activity across the entire network, enabling faster detection, coordinated response, and enhanced overall protection. 

Join our experts to see how modern unified management platforms streamline firewall and network administration through automation, AI, and comprehensive visibility. 

You’ll learn: 
• How centralized management improves efficiency, scalability, and security consistency 
• Ways to simplify policy deployment and monitoring across multiple environments 
• Best practices to reduce operational overhead and strengthen network visibility 
• How AI enables faster, more effective threat response

Simplify Firewall and Network Management with a Unified Platform

Defending against today’s advanced cyber threats requires a stack of cybersecurity tools. But for those tools to provide the best protection possible, they must be consistently updated in the face of evolving threats. From endpoint tools to firewalls, configuration mistakes can make it easier for a threat actor to sneak through. It’s easy for overworked security teams to miss a new patch or security rule, essentially leaving the door to their organization unlocked for bad actors.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss common configuration challenges, and how working with a team of experts can help you and your team stay on top of these crucial updates—giving you better security, peace of mind, and even more time for other priorities.

The Human Factor in Cybersecurity: Did I Configure This Right?

Join November’s CAFÉ TECH session for a practical, step-by-step walkthrough on setting up Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) and configuring Secure Private Access to deliver safe, seamless remote access.
Whether you’re new to SonicWall and CSE, or migrating from SMA 100, you’ll learn how to strengthen your own — or your clients’ — cloud security posture with a clear understanding of CSE’s management and enforcement points. You’ll also discover where to find quick online support to kick-start and grow your CSE expertise. Follow along live or in your own environment for a true hands-on experience.
Topics covered:
Provisioning a CSE instance (trial or production)
Configuring Authentication and IdP
Setting up Private Access using a Connector and Service Tunnel
Installing, registering and using the CSE client application
Where to find help and ongoing support

Ready to deploy and use Cloud Secure Edge’s Secure Private Access?

Firewalls are crucial security tools to stop cyber threats at the perimeter of your network, but you can’t just set and forget them. Getting the most from your firewall requires active management to stay on top of updates and necessary configuration changes. You have to think beyond just the firewall to how you’ll manage the firewall long-term, and SonicWall can help.

Join Michael Crean, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Managed Security Services Division, for an inside look at SonicWall’s Managed Protection Security Suite (MPSS). This comprehensive solution combines expert firewall management, proactive monitoring, and always-on updates to ensure your defenses stay optimized against evolving threats, without the burden of day-to-day operations.

Whether you’re an MSP, MSSP, or SMB, MPSS simplifies security, scales with your business, and strengthens customer trust, enabling you to focus on growth while SonicWall keeps you protected.

Beyond the Wall: The Best of People and Technology with Managed Protection Security Suite

Perhaps the most common cybersecurity error humans make, falling for phishing messages can lead to a host of problems, sometimes not realized until weeks after the initial phish. Clicking the link in a phishing email can deploy malware that leads to ransomware, among other things. It’s easy to think that phishing messages are easy to spot, but these days, that isn’t always the case. 
Join us as we discuss the current phishing landscape, actual attacks the SonicSentry SOC has seen and stopped, and ways to both prevent phishing in your organization and minimize damage if it happens.

The Human Factor in Cybersecurity: Does Something Smell Phishy?

Join our Solutions Architect (SA) experts and discover how MSP partners can get the most from the SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge Workshop Catalog. In this session, you’ll learn:
