With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2020, cybersecurity entered uncharted territory. As organizations worked to connect and secure millions of new remote workers, opportunistic attackers began seizing on the distraction, confusion and lack of preparedness surrounding the pandemic.

Abstract

In response, cybersecurity technology must adapt and evolve quickly to mitigate advanced cyberattacks and stop plots from the modern cybercriminal. It’s more important than ever to defend your organization’s networks, data and applications from today’s most malicious cyberattacks.

“Business success often coincides with expansion, leading to an increased need for visibility, security and bandwidth across a distributed organization,” said SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner. “As the world begins to re-open its doors, organizations must re-architect for the ‘new business normal,’ which includes implementing cost-effective, software-defined networking and security principles across the business.”

Have no fear: SonicWall is excited to launch the official integration of ConnectWise Manage with SonicWall’s portfolio of products. ConnectWise Manage is an out-of-the-box and easy-to-use integration that helps automate the invoicing and billing of security services for your customers. In addition, the integration automates the creation and processing of service tickets within ConnectWise Manage, including the automatic closure of tickets when alerts are closed in the product consoles.

“One size fits all.” It’s a nice idea, isn’t it?

SonicWall and GNC Holdings (GNC), a leading global health and wellness brand, have been working closely to increase capacity off the company’s existing Secure Mobile Access (SMA) deployment to connect and secure the company’s growing volume of work-from-home employees. SonicWall SMA is a secure access gateway that delivers enterprise-grade, best-in-class SSL-VPN.

“What we are seeing is a heroic undertaking by organizations to quickly and efficiently provide security for an unexpected rise in a remote, mobile workforce that will permanently change the way they operate,” said SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner. “We are now living in the new business normal.”

Ultimately, hospital administrators decided that the most cost-effective way to regain control was to pay the $17,000 ransom. Last year, a similar but more devastating attack hit three Alabama hospitals, forcing them to turn away all but the most critical patients. They, too, paid an undisclosed ransom, but were hardly the only victims of targeted ransomware attacks.

Designed to be one of the industry’s most comprehensive and rigorous benchmark tests, the NetSecOPEN standard evaluated the SonicWall NSa 4650 next-generation firewall (NGFW), delivering results to help guide product purchasing decisions made by security professionals. The NSa 4650 was tested under realistic, real-world conditions against 465 combined public and private Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) vulnerabilities.
