Check Point Software Technologies, the worldwide leader in securing the internet, is celebrating its 20th year of leadership this year.
Check Point has, since its inception in 1993, provided customers uncompromised protection against all types of threats and helped reduce security complexities. Check Point first pioneered the industry with FireWall-1 and its patented stateful inspection technology.
Today, Check Point continues to develop new innovations based on the Software Blade Architecture, providing customers with flexible and simple solutions that can be fully customised to meet the exact security needs of any organisation.
Anniversary celebrations in Colombo were hosted by South Asian Technologies Ltd., Check Point’s Strategic Partner in Sri Lanka, at which awards of appreciation were presented to Check Point’s top performing partners.
They were: Check Point Best Partner - Millennium Information Technologies, Check Point Partner Appreciation Award - KBSL Information Technologies Ltd., Check Point Emerging Partner – N-Able Ltd., Check Point Best SMB Partner – Blue Chip Technical Services Ltd., Check Point Customer Appreciation – Seylan Bank PLC, Check Point Customer Appreciation – Development Finance Corporation of Ceylon (DFCC), Check Point Customer Appreciation – Dialog Axiata PLC, Check Point Sales Champion – Rahal Jayawardena, Check Point Technical Champion – Upul Perera and First Check Point Salesman – Lyndsay Pereira.
With the exponential growth of enterprises seen in the last decade alone, there is no denying the role of technology – that of a key driver and enabler. Today, it goes without saying that IT is a significant strategic function for businesses, within which security today plays a substantial role.
Technology-driven transformation of organisations has led to a plethora of protection, security, breach, and trust-related issues. In the last decade, security threats have increased manifold, not to speak of large scale intrusions such as systemic data frauds, hackings, white-collar crimes and physical breach of security, either knowingly or unknowingly by employees.
Check Point is the only vendor to go beyond technology and define security as a business process. Check Point leverages the most compelling technologies to solve business and technical challenges of enterprises, that promises to enhance business output.
Check Point 3D Security uniquely combines policy, people and enforcement for greater protection of information assets and helps organisations implement a blueprint for security that aligns with business needs. It is this premise that has seen Check Point repeatedly garner the coveted position in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant year on year for the last 16 years.
With 20 years of leadership, Check Point’s customers include tens of thousands of organisations of all sizes, including all Fortune and Global 100 companies.
Check Point’s products and services are sold to enterprises, service providers, small and medium sized businesses and consumers. It secures more than 100,000 businesses and millions users worldwide, including: 100% of Fortune 100 companies, 100% of Fortune 500 companies, 100% of Global 100 companies and 98% of Global 500 companies.
