Check Point launches new MSSP programme

Israel Checkpoint

Israeli security outfit Check Point has a new MSSP programme to boost partner growth.

It claims the new programme will be a partner service-led approach and “removes administrative burdens.”

It says this is done by simplifying operations with faster customer “onboarding”, streamlined quoting, technical “onboarding”, pipeline development and “go to market” (GTM) alignment.

“These operational improvements, additional MSSP training courses and enablement services will strengthen partners’ ability to manage the sophisticated cyber defence requirements of customers today”, the vendor said.

Check Point WW head of channels Frank Rauch said that the rapidly evolving market dynamics were fuelling growth in managed security services, and Check Point was adapting to meet that demand.

“We’re significantly investing in our new MSSP program, including product features that drive MSSP interest, as well as operational improvements, training, and marketing activities.

“This allows for higher levels of partner growth and profitability with services-led cyber protection across network, cloud, and endpoints.”

Under the programme, MSSPs can provide global SOC-as-a-Service without the upfront investment required as well as leverage and provide co-branded versions of Check Point’s Incident Response (IR) services.

It also includes services-led offerings such as the new Horizon MDR/MPR which partners can co-brand or white-label.
