Griffin Technology Group has utilized SonicWall’s integrated solutions to deliver layered protection, including TZ and NSa Series firewalls, Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), Capture Client Premier, and 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) via SonicSentry. John Griffin, founder and CEO, stated, “SonicWall has proven to be a true partner in helping us deliver proactive, enterprise-grade security solutions with the flexibility we need to better protect our clients.” The partnership has reduced malware and phishing incidents, improved threat detection, and accelerated client onboarding.
SonicWall’s Capture Security Center (CSC) enables Griffin to monitor dozens of client environments in real time from a single pane of glass, minimizing overhead. Zero Touch provisioning ensures rapid firewall deployment, while cloud-based sandboxing and 24/7 MDR provide continuous threat protection. Jason Carter, SonicWall CRO, noted, “Griffin Technology Group exemplifies how the right tools, paired with the right partner mindset, can empower small teams to deliver big security outcomes.” These tools have streamlined Griffin’s operations, allowing support for more clients without additional resources.
Serving SMBs in sectors like healthcare and manufacturing, Griffin’s “Total IT” philosophy ensures continuity and confidence amid rising cyber threats. SonicWall’s 2025 Cyber Threat Report highlighted a 19% revenue risk from cyberattacks, underscoring the need for solutions like those Griffin deploys. The partnership’s success is amplified by SonicWall’s recent innovations, including a 68% surge in managed security services bookings and a cyber warranty of up to $1M through its Cysurance partnership.
SonicWall competes with Sophos, Fortinet, and Palo Alto in the SMB cybersecurity market, valued at $40 billion in 2024 and projected to grow at a 15% CAGR through 2030. Unlike competitors, SonicWall’s partner-first approach and unified SonicPlatform, enhanced by AI-driven monitoring (SAMI), reduce complexity for MSPs. Griffin’s reliance on SonicWall’s MDR and firewalls positions it ahead of peers using fragmented tools, as noted in posts on X praising the partnership’s scalability.
With SonicWall’s ongoing platform enhancements, including next-gen firewalls (NSa 2800/3800) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Griffin is well-positioned to expand its SMB client base. The partnership’s focus on low total cost of ownership and world-class support, as John Griffin emphasized, ensures sustained growth. SonicWall’s 91% rise in service provider partners signals a strong ecosystem for Griffin to leverage.
The SonicWall-Griffin Technology Group partnership, celebrated on June 17, 2025, exemplifies how integrated cybersecurity solutions empower MSPs to deliver scalable, cost-effective protection. By aligning with SonicWall’s innovative tools, Griffin strengthens its role as a trusted IT advisor for SMBs navigating a complex threat landscape.
