Check Point launches new MSSP programme to 'remove administrative burdens' for partners
The cyber security vendor claims the new programme empowers a partner service-led approach and 'removes administrative burdens'
Check Point has launched a new MSSP programme which it claims will help accelerate growth for partners.
The cybersecurity vendor claims the new programme empowers 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.
In turn, it believes the move allows "partners to become more profitable and organisations more secure".
"Rapidly evolving market dynamics are fuelling growth in managed security services, and Check Point is dynamically adapting to meet that demand," said Frank Rauch, Check Point WW head of channels.
"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 new 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.
Paul Solomon, head of managed cyber services at SoftCat, said: "At SoftCat, we have been delivering industry-leading IT services for over 10 years and we do so by partnering with cybersecurity experts like Check Point as an extension of our own team to strengthen our offerings and provide a wide range of security solutions for our customers."
