Provider evidence

SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge

SonicWall is one of the oldest names in network security still operating under its own brand - founded 1991 as Sonic Systems, later renamed SonicWall, and shaped by an eventful corporate history: an IPO in 1999, a return to private ownership, acquisition by Dell in 2012, and a $2 billion-plus divestiture from Dell in November 2016 that spun the company out as an independent business jointly owned by private equity firms Francisco Partners and Elliott Management, who remain its owners today.
