ShowTech Solutions, an IT services provider, has selected SonicWall’s Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) as its preferred connectivity solution, recognizing it as a practical fit for MSPs needing streamlined deployment, flexible authentication, and robust remote access management.
MSPs are navigating a growing need for secure, seamless access to client environments—without the complexity of traditional VPN infrastructure. As remote work continues to drive transformation in network architecture, MSPs are turning to cloud-native solutions that align with Zero Trust principles while delivering operational simplicity.
A Purpose-Built Solution for MSP Environments
SonicWall CSE is designed for MSPs managing small to medium-sized business clients and supports key capabilities such as Single Sign-On (SSO), multiple service tunnels, Zero Touch and mobile device management (MDM) deployment, and private edge service traffic routing.
For ShowTech Solutions, the ability to use different identity providers (IDPs) for authentication and to install remotely without user interaction directly addressed some of their top priorities. This has reduced user support calls tied to password resets and multi-factor authentication (MFA) complications, allowing their team to focus on delivering value-added services instead of troubleshooting access issues.
CSE also enables ShowTech to customize access policies per service tunnel, offering the option to include or exclude specific domains—an important layer of control when managing a diverse set of clients across various industries. Whether managing WAN-restricted access or enabling local resource administration, the platform has supported ShowTech’s workflows both on-site and remotely.
From VPN Fatigue to Cloud-Native Simplicity
Legacy VPNs have long been a staple of remote connectivity, but they often come with configuration headaches, inconsistent performance, and support burdens. SonicWall’s CSE offers a cloud-native alternative, allowing MSPs to centralize management, deploy policies efficiently, and support secure remote access at scale. ShowTech has now streamlined remote system administration while supporting security standards that meet the expectations of modern clients with SonicWall’s CSE. This has enabled the enterprise to onboard faster, ease troubleshooting, and gain better visibility into user activity and system health.
A Broader Shift Toward Zero Trust Access
As more MSPs modernize their security infrastructure, cloud-native ZTNA solutions like SonicWall’s CSE are seeing broader adoption. The platform balances the demands of scalability, security, and user experience—three pillars that are critical for service providers supporting hybrid work environments.
Additionally, solutions like SonicWall CSE provide robust remote access management, which is critical for hybrid and remote-first work environments as they offer centralized control over user access, application permissions, and security policies, giving MSPs greater visibility and control across multiple client networks. With scalability built in, such solutions allow MSPs to expand services as their clients grow, without heavy upfront investments—making it a cost-effective, secure, and future-ready solution for modern connectivity challenges.
