What has been the primary focus at SonicWall over the past year?

It has been two years since we have become independent from Dell.

Since then we have placed a lot of focus on developing innovative solutions and on being at the forefront of the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Over the last couple of years, we have developed 24 new products, re-written 160 million lines of code and have made significant investments into R&D.

The cyber arms race between the bad guys and good guys is accelerating. However, unfortunately, our adversaries are getting better every day. Our goal is to make sure that we stay on top of the cyber arms race by ensuring customers, enterprises, companies are protected and can protect themselves against cybercriminals. We aim to address this with our new product innovations, which have all been developed in-house and integrated into all our platforms.

In addition, we are keeping our focus on developing cloud-based products from email security, endpoint security and network security among others. This is because we want to break the silos between the different kind of threat factors. We aim to achieve this with our platform which is the Capture Security Center in the cloud. Having all these solutions in one platform, under one single pane of glass enables more efficient and effective data management, reporting and analysis. Furthermore, having such solutions in the cloud allows them to speak and learn from each other.
