Integralis gains Platinum status
First Check Point channel partner in the UK to be awarded accreditation
Specialist security systems integrator Integralis has become the first Check Point channel partner in the UK to be awarded Platinum Partner status.
The partnership means the two firms will co-ordinate a series of tailored programmes to increase market share.
"The security market has always been seen as a specialist market and users are demanding more flexibility and mobility," said Graham Jones, director of northern Europe at Integralis.
He added that because devices such as laptops and PDAs travel in and out of the network daily, it makes it possible for legitimate users to infect the network or grant attackers access to it.
"With these threats proliferating, firms realise they must provide protection within the internal network," Jones said.
Viv Francis, Check Point sales manager, UK, Ireland and South Africa, said: "We are delighted to have Integralis as our first Platinum Partner in the UK. This status recognises the high level of commitment it has shown through the investment in its relationship with us.
"As we commit to providing perimeter, internal and web security, it is important to have a partner that can deliver fully to our customers."
