Check Point tweaks line-up

Check Point has tweaked its UK distribution strategy for the first time in four years after granting Wick Hill access to its full portfolio.

Written by Doug Woodburn

Wick Hill has distributed Check Point’s SME portfolio since 2004 and has now won the right to carry the security vendor’s high-end Power 1 appliances.

Nick Lowe, managing director northern Europe at Check Point, said: “As Wick Hill’s customers have grown, they wanted access to more powerful boxes and broader management, so it was an ideal opportunity to extend Wick Hill’s portfolio.”
