SonicWall Introduces MPSS to Simplify Firewall Management and Accelerate MSP Growth
Cybersecurity vendor SonicWall has launched its Managed Protection Security Suite (MPSS), a co-managed service offering aimed at managed service providers (MSPs) who want to deliver enterprise-grade firewall security without growing internal headcount. As described by partner CT Solutions, the MPSS bundle enables rapid deployment and risk mitigation by offloading firmware updates, configuration monitoring and firewall health checks to SonicWall. The service includes 24/7 monitoring of connected firewalls and alerts for offline devices or configuration changes.
The launch arrives amid growing demand for scalable firewall services in the MSP marketplace. Because many MSPs serve multiple customers and firewalls concurrently, they face operational complexity and risk exposure; MPSS is structured to reduce that burden while helping them scale profitably. By combining always-on monitoring, expert configuration management and multi-tenant support, SonicWall positions MPSS as a partner-ready offering that aligns with recurring-revenue models and evolving MSP expectations.
