SonicWall’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) Solutions Driving Success Tackling 2025’s Biggest Cybersecurity Challenges
One Year After Acquiring Banyan Security, SonicWall’s Cloud Secure Edge/ZTNA Remote Access Solutions See Remarkable Growth
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 April 2025 – SonicWall today marks a significant milestone in its journey redefining advanced cyber security protection with its Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution known as Cloud Secure Edge (CSE). One year after acquiring Banyan Security, a leading provider of zero-trust security for the modern workforce, CSE has become SonicWall’s fastest-growing solution, witnessing an impressive 54% year-over-year bookings increase for the first fiscal year and a 20-fold increase in channel partners adopting the solution to help defend their customers against cyber threats. This rapid adoption highlights the solution’s ability to meet the evolving security needs of businesses of all sizes and the Managed Service Providers (MSPs) who serve them.
Born from years of delivering innovative Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions for enterprise customers, CSE is now a cloud-native ZTNA solution that fits hybrid and cloud network use cases. SonicWall’s CSE fills a critical gap by providing a scalable, easy-to-deploy ZTNA solution ideal for MSPs serving small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) as well as those supporting large enterprise deployments.
“SonicWall’s introduction of our ZTNA solution has been a complete game-changer for the partners and customers we serve,” said SonicWall CEO and President Bob VanKirk. “CSE enables them to navigate the complexities of remote work and cloud migration with ease, and our momentum this year reflects our commitment to innovation and our deep understanding of the needs of MSPs and the businesses they protect. We are excited to build on this momentum by further enhancing our offerings with more frictionless deployments along with key SSE enhancements. Together, we are redefining how businesses approach secure network access, and what’s most exciting is that we’re just getting started.”
Debasish Mukherjee, Vice President of Sales, APJ at SonicWall said, “As businesses across the world, especially in the APJ region, embrace cloud and hybrid work, secure access is a top priority. SonicWall’s Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) is proving to be a critical enabler for organisations and MSPs in the region, strengthening security without adding complexity and enabling seamless growth in an increasingly digital landscape. Its rapid adoption reflects the need for agile, cloud-native solutions that protect businesses while keeping them competitive.”
From VPNaaS to ZTNA to SSE: A Seamless Security Evolution
CSE enables organizations to modernize their remote access infrastructure by offering the flexibility of deploying VPN as a Service (VPNaaS), ZTNA or SSE in hybrid and cloud networks. Designed to enhance both VPN performance, CSE ensures businesses can seamlessly transition to a more secure, scalable, and flexible network security model.
Customers have lauded CSE for its intuitive interface, seamless integration, and robust security features, leading to high satisfaction ratings and strong retention rates. In addition, the solution has received industry recognition from cybersecurity experts and analysts, further validating its effectiveness in defending against evolving cyber threats. Our partners and customers can seamlessly adopt these new technologies by leveraging their existing install base, enabling a smooth transition from on-prem to hybrid cloud without the need for a costly rip-and-replace approach.
ShowTech Solutions, one of SonicWall’s leading partners, has already experienced remarkable success leveraging CSE to enhance security for its clients.
“CSE has transformed the way we support our clients at ShowTech Solutions,” said ShowTech Solutions Systems Engineer, Chase Kyler. “Its seamless integration and security capabilities empower us to provide our customers with the flexibility and protection they need during their cloud migration journeys without the need for additional hardware or the challenges of legacy SSL/VPN offerings. This year has been remarkable as we’ve seen firsthand how CSE addresses the challenges of an increasingly remote workforce.”
Looking Ahead
As businesses continue to prioritize secure cloud adoption and remote workforce enablement, SonicWall remains dedicated to evolving its solutions to meet emerging cybersecurity challenges via hybrid or full cloud native deployments with a more robust set of SSE offerings designed to deliver a broad set of security services at the cloud edge as a compliment to or in place of traditional appliance-based solutions. CSE’s rapid growth underscores its role as a cornerstone technology for organizations looking to secure their digital transformation efforts.

Singapore’s Leaders Invited to Benchmark Against Asia’s Most Rigorous Platform for Purpose-Driven Excellence
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 April 2025 – In a world overflowing with accolades, one platform continues to raise the bar on meaningful recognition. The Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability (ACES) Awards has opened Wave 2 nominations for its 2025 edition, inviting Singapore’s leading businesses and executives to benchmark themselves against the region’s highest standards of leadership, innovation and sustainability.
Now in its 12th year, ACES has earned a reputation for rigour, credibility and substance. Unlike awards driven by sponsorships or popularity, ACES is guided by a comprehensive evaluation framework, a dedicated research team and a panel that values action over appearances.
Singapore has long stood at the intersection of innovation, governance and sustainability. With over 100 ACES Awards secured by Singapore-based organisations, the nation’s business community continues to lead by example—proving that true excellence is not just measurable, but repeatable.
In 2024, Gensler Singapore earned the Green Initiative Award, while Regional Managing Principal David Calkins was again named an Outstanding Leader in Asia. Tata Consultancy Services Asia Pacific, headquartered in Singapore, was named Industry Champion of the Year—reflecting the city-state’s growing ESG influence.
“ACES was built to recognise leadership that holds up to scrutiny,” said Dr. Shanggari Balakrishnan, President of ACES and CEO of MORS Group. “Singaporean companies often ask the hard questions—about transparency, process and integrity. That’s why they belong on this platform.”
The ACES Awards 2025 will take place 27–28 November, shortly after COP30 in Rio de Janeiro. The host city—Bali, Taiwan, or Malaysia—will be announced in June.
Categories open: Individual Leadership, Corporate Leadership, Corporate Sustainability.
Wave 2 closes April 30; Wave 3 ends June 2025.

CUHK Faculty of Arts Achieves Global Recognition, Consolidating Position as Leading Asian Hub for Humanities Research
Innovative Interdisciplinary Approach in Academic Offerings
The Faculty has always been pivotal to CUHK’s mission of integrating Chinese and Western traditions and advancing bilingual education and humanities research. As the largest institution for postgraduate humanities education in Hong Kong, the Faculty offers over 40 postgraduate programmes across its academic departments: Anthropology, China Studies, Chinese Language and Literature, Cultural and Religious Studies, English, Fine Arts, History, Japanese Studies, Linguistics and Modern Languages, Music, Philosophy, and Translation.
The Faculty’s commitment to interdisciplinary education is reflected through programmes such as the MA in Intercultural Studies, which draws on faculty members’ expertise in film, digital media, gender studies, and urban studies. In addition, many research centres and affiliated units actively promote interdisciplinary research. The Research Institute for the Humanities (RIH), in particular, supports research projects ranging from AI to bioarchaeology, from digital to urban humanities. RIH also runs initiatives that help extend postgraduate students’ intellectual horizons and professional preparations.
Research Recognition and Student Success
Recent faculty accolades include the Dan David Prize won by Professor Stuart McManus, Associate Professor in the Department of History. A historian of the global Renaissance and the first scholar from an Asian university to receive this prestigious award in global history, Professor McManus examines both the brighter and darker sides of the Renaissance as an important early period of globalisation: the histories of slavery, the spread of renaissance humanism and the connected histories of law and religion.
The Faculty makes available many resources and opportunities in support of student development. Dr. Fabricio Oliveira da Silva, a PhD graduate in Applied English Linguistics, gained invaluable experience through international conference presentations and extensive research opportunities provided by the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS). “Studying at CUHK was an incredible journey of intellectual growth and personal development. The academic environment, supportive faculty, and diverse student community at CUHK fostered my passion for research. The fact of being a CUHK student and HKPFS awardee has already opened doors for me, such as job offers, publishing a book chapter, invited lectures and research cooperation. I am sure there is more to come.”
Since its establishment in 1963, the Faculty of Arts at CUHK has seen tremendous growth. It continues to advance today by fostering cutting-edge, collaborative, and impactful research. Through its comprehensive programmes and international partnerships, it is now truly a leader of humanities education and research in Asia.
