This initiative is designed to strengthen the capabilities of the industry and stimulate growth, at a time when the demand for collaborative cybersecurity solutions is reaching new peaks, with cybersecurity spending reaching $19 billion according to Canalys.
In an ever-evolving digital environment with increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, the need for a unified and comprehensive cybersecurity platform is more critical than ever.

Our goal is to equip our partners with the best tools and resources, supporting them in their growth in this dynamic sector.”
The redesigned program strategically aligns with Check Point Software’s comprehensive platform, which includes AI-driven security and cloud solutions. This allows partners to cross-sell and upsell advanced security solutions that cover a broad spectrum of attack surfaces, meeting needs in SASE, email, cloud environments, SD-WAN, and mobile security.
