This recognition by CRN, a leading voice within The Channel Company, highlights how SonicWall continues to meet the fast-changing demands of IT solution providers and businesses alike.

These awards are a benchmark in the tech industry, spotlighting partner-friendly products that bring cutting-edge solutions to the forefront. To earn a finalist spot, Cloud Secure Edge stood out among hundreds of competitors in one of 30 diverse technology categories, demonstrating its capacity to enhance business operations while addressing critical security concerns. Winners of the awards will be determined by a survey of solution providers, who will rate the finalists on technology, revenue generation and customer satisfaction based on firsthand experience.

What Makes SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge a Game-Changer?

Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) is a robust Security Service Edge (SSE) solution that simplifies and strengthens secure access to network resources. As companies increasingly shift to cloud environments, Cloud Secure Edge makes it easy for employees and third parties to securely access private and internet resources, regardless of where they are located or what device they use. This capability is crucial in today's hybrid work culture, where flexibility and security go hand in hand.

Unlike traditional network security tools that rely on multiple appliances- like VPNs, firewalls, and web proxies- Cloud Secure Edge integrates these functions into a single, cloud-delivered platform. This not only boosts security but also significantly improves user experience, providing seamless, zero-trust access without compromising performance. With cyber threats growing increasingly sophisticated, solutions like Cloud Secure Edge that prioritize security without sacrificing efficiency are more important than ever.

Looking Forward to the 2024 Awards

As one of the finalists, SonicWall's Cloud Secure Edge is positioned among the top products that are shaping the future of the IT industry. The final verdict will be revealed after solution providers evaluate the products in real-world conditions, assessing how they meet technological needs, drive profitability and solve customer problems.

The winners will be revealed in CRN's December issue and online on December 2nd. In a landscape where secure, flexible and cloud-based solutions are paramount, Cloud Secure Edge exemplifies innovation that helps businesses thrive.
