One Year After Acquiring Banyan Security, SonicWall’s Cloud Secure Edge/ZTNA Remote Access Solutions See Remarkable Growth
SonicWall today marks a significant milestone in its journey redefining advanced cybersecurity protection with its Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution known as Cloud Secure Edge (CSE). One year after acquiring Banyan Security, a leading provider of zero-trust security for the modern workforce, CSE has become SonicWall’s fastest-growing solution, witnessing an impressive 54% year-over-year bookings increase for the first fiscal year and a 20-fold increase in channel partners adopting the solution to help defend their customers against cyber threats. This rapid adoption highlights the solution’s ability to meet the evolving security needs of businesses of all sizes and the Managed Service Providers (MSPs) who serve them.

Born from years of delivering innovative Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions for enterprise customers, CSE is now a cloud-native ZTNA solution that fits hybrid and cloud network use cases. SonicWall’s CSE fills a critical gap by providing a scalable, easy-to-deploy ZTNA solution ideal for MSPs serving small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) as well as those supporting large enterprise deployments.
“SonicWall’s introduction of our ZTNA solution has been a complete game-changer for the partners and customers we serve,” said SonicWall CEO and President Bob VanKirk. “CSE enables them to navigate the complexities of remote work and cloud migration with ease, and our momentum this year reflects our commitment to innovation and our deep understanding of the needs of MSPs and the businesses they protect. We are excited to build on this momentum by further enhancing our offerings with more frictionless deployments along with key SSE enhancements. Together, we are redefining how businesses approach secure network access, and what’s most exciting is that we’re just getting started.”
From VPNaaS to ZTNA to SSE: A Seamless Security Evolution
CSE enables organizations to modernize their remote access infrastructure by offering the flexibility of deploying VPN as a Service (VPNaaS), ZTNA or SSE in hybrid and cloud networks. Designed to enhance both VPN performance, CSE ensures businesses can seamlessly transition to a more secure, scalable, and flexible network security model.
Customers have lauded CSE for its intuitive interface, seamless integration, and robust security features, leading to high satisfaction ratings and strong retention rates. In addition, the solution has received industry recognition from cybersecurity experts and analysts, further validating its effectiveness in defending against evolving cyber threats. Our partners and customers can seamlessly adopt these new technologies by leveraging their existing install base, enabling a smooth transition from on-prem to hybrid cloud without the need for a costly rip-and-replace approach.
