SonicWall was founded in 1991 and quickly became a pioneer in the network security space. Originally known for its firewall products, SonicWall expanded its offerings over the years to include a comprehensive suite of security solutions. In 2012, the company was acquired by Dell, which helped to integrate its security technologies into Dell's broader enterprise solutions. In 2016, SonicWall was divested from Dell and became an independent company again, continuing to innovate in the cybersecurity field.
