Going above and beyond their partner programmes and networks across the 215 countries and territories, SonicWall also earned its
fifth consecutive perfect score in independent ICSA Labs Advanced Threat Defense (ATD) certification testing across the last five quarters. No other vendor currently participating has ever achieved two consecutive perfect scores, with only the perfect rating given to an elite set of vendors that deliver the ‘best of the best’ to solution providers.
Setting the Benchmark Across the Globe SonicWall’s recognition within the cybersecurity space comes at a time of booming growth for the industry, with the company posting strong financial results despite the difficult economic climate in the past two years. This includes a 33% increase in new customer growth and generating a 45% increase in new customer sales globally. Additionally, SonicWall has seen incredible growth in cloud-delivered products and services, which are up 36% year-over-year across the respective markets.
As one of the key regions driving revenue growth in the global cybersecurity market, ASEAN will continue to be a catalyst for global trends and development. Small- and medium-sized enterprises saw a 13% quarter-on-quarter growth in the first quarter of SonicWall’s fiscal year
[1] 2023, while projects and large enterprise businesses saw a 14% quarter-on-quarter growth in the same period. As of the end of SonicWall’s fiscal year 2022, the company recorded an accelerated 10% increase in top-tier partners in ASEAN, further amplifying the company’s position as one of the unquestioned leaders in the cybersecurity space.
With the post-Covid market opening up, SonicWall in India has also started to observe a significant jump of 60% year-on-year growth across projects and large enterprise businesses in the first quarter of SonicWall’s fiscal year 2023. SonicWall in India recorded a steady momentum of 27% quarter-on-quarter overall growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, while growth in large enterprise businesses grew by 47% in the same period.
Laying the foundation to realise the organisation’s long-term vision, SonicWall will also be expanding and deepening their partner networks by onboarding region-wide partner distributors and expanding their partner management recourses. Most recently, the company onboarded Pacific Tech as the region-wide distributor for ASEAN to manage partner development and further invest in internal resources such as marketing, sales development and sales engineering.
Commenting on the long-term development in the region,
SooHan Bai, sales director of ASEAN, SonicWall said, “SonicWall’s outstanding business performance and consistent track record demonstrates our unwavering commitment to provide the most comprehensive coverage in the cybersecurity space. We see immense growth potential in the region and having Pacific Tech onboard as our region-wide distributor for ASEAN further strengthens our commitment to developing and delivering solutions to our network of partners and customers. It is an exciting milestone for us as we can not only fully support the fast-growing market in ASEAN, but also offer support across all time zones by working closely in partnership with specialist distributors and resellers.”
While SME and mid-markets remain their core focus, SonicWall has also committed to doubling down investment opportunities in enterprise businesses. This approach will be segmented into four key pillars – Customer Connect, working closely with key customers to strengthen the digital ecosystem in the face of cyber-attacks; developing partners who are equipped with the capabilities to drive customer connect and the fulfilment of customer needs; brand awareness and lastly developing integrated teams to remain vigilant in finding solutions and measures to further protect its partners’ greatest assets.
