Check Point has been 100% channel-driven since our inception more than 25 years ago.  With the support of our partners, we have made big strides in enabling our customers’ cloud migration journey.  Check Point has had an amazing year with Microsoft, being recognized as #1 ISV worldwide and the #1 Security ISV worldwide. We are also honored to have been awarded the MSUS Commercial Marketplace Partner of the Year.

Secure Migration Program Award Winners

Together with Microsoft, we recognized 7 partners around the globe who over-achieved in executing the Secure Migration program, which is an integrated offering scaled through collaborative engagement with channel partners.  This offering was developed in conjunction with Microsoft to provide our joint customers with a path forward from end of life products and to drive digital transformation via cloud adoption, resulting in 3-5x deal velocity and expanding the margin envelope for partner-delivered services.

“I want to thank all of our worldwide partners who are leading with Check Point and Azure to securely migrate their customers to the cloud,” said Frank Rauch, Head of WW Channel Sales. “The results are amazing and the future is bright.  Congrats to the award winners for the well-deserved accolades!”
