With rapid growth in the digitization, there is a growth in the adoption of cloud computing, which leads to the security challenges. SME Channels wanted to know from SonicWall strategy from Scott McCrady, Vice President of Sales, Asia-Pacific and Japan Region, for SonicWall. Excerpts.
How do you differentiate Sonic-Wall from other competitors?
SonicWall has been fighting the cyber-criminal industry for over 25 years defending small, medium-size businesses and enterprises worldwide. SonicWall stands apart in the industry as an independent company focused 100 percent on cyber-security and 100 percent on channels. Furthermore, our legacy of award-winning breach detection and prevention solutions coupled with the threat intelligence from SonicWall Capture Labs is unmatched by other cyber-security vendors. Finally, we continually hear from the channel that our partner enablement offerings set us apart in our industry, including the Secure First Partner Program and SonicWall University, which we will talk more about shortly.
What are the major trends that drive security concerns amongst organizations? Can you elaborate on the change in security perspective with these new trends?
At SonicWall, we are continuously leveraging our cyber-security intelligence to keep our partners well-informed on the rapidly evolving cyber arms race. One such effort is the SonicWall Annual Threat Report. Our report, which is a compilation of insight from more than one million sensors across the world, offers an in-depth look at the cyber-security trends we’ve seen emerge throughout the year. This year, major trends included the explosive 167x growth of ransomware; the rise of email as a main delivery vector for ransomware, either in the form of attachments or malicious embedded URLs; and the growing risks associated with SSL/TLS encryption. While the increased adoption of SSL/TLS encryption certainly makes strides in securing web traffic, it can also hide malware from detection by company firewalls.
