Check Point has enhanced its MSSP Partner Program. This move addresses the critical workforce shortage in cybersecurity and the relentless rise in digital threats, aiming to reshape the managed security service landscape. The Global Managed Security Service Market is witnessing unprecedented growth, and Check Point’s program revamp is a direct response to the evolving needs of this dynamic market. The MSSP program is not merely undergoing incremental changes but is being revolutionized to offer a more robust, comprehensive, and flexible service model.
“MSSPs have a big opportunity to capitalize on the demand for their services, but they face their own challenges in a rapidly changing world, “said Shahar Divon, Head of Global SMB Sales at Check Point Software Technologies. “At the operational level, these teams spend too much time handling hundreds of alerts daily, tying up resources that could be better spent on more urgent requests.
“That is where our MSSP Partner Program can deliver real value, not only for those that have security as a practice, but also MSPs that are looking for ways to protect their customers. We have now streamlined the business model and simplified the onboarding process, making it easier for partners of any size to access our innovative products and scale their operations as needed. We believe the simplicity and agility is what sets our program apart in the market.”
