These benchmarks were supported by 80 percent growth in SecureFirst partner registrations and more than $500 million in new partner deal registrations. While SonicWall does not disclose its sales numbers as a private company, according to independent market research firm NPD Group, SonicWall leapfrogged key competitors and jumped to No. 2 in vendor rankings in terms of network security appliances sold in the first quarter of 2017, reporting more than 55 percent year-over-year growth.

Finally, SonicWall received global recognition for its business and leadership by receiving 12 cybersecurity industry accolades since February 2018 alone, demonstrating unparalleled third-party validation. The cybersecurity leadership that SonicWall demonstrates enables businesses to run more effectively and fear less about security.

Leading the market with its security solutions

In its first year as an independent company, SonicWall has consistently outpaced the market in innovation, growth and leadership. The company reached new heights by growing its partner base to 23,000 registered partners, which reinforces the value that SonicWall offers its partner community and end customers. A part of this value resides in the strength of the company’s Capture Cloud Platform, encompassing SonicWall’s full portfolio of network, email, mobile and cloud security products.

Its independent status has given SonicWall the ability to move swiftly on intelligence gathered by the Capture Labs Threat Network to innovate and release products and services that are unique to the industry and protect customers against both known and unknown cyber threats.
