Global technology provider Arrow received the “Best Strategic Distributor of the Year” award from Check Point Software Technologies. Arrow received the award during Check Point`s annual CPX 360 Cyber Security Summit and Expo which took place in Vienna in February 2020.

The award recognises Arrow’s outstanding sales performance and close alignment with Check Point’s strategy during 2019. CPX 360 is Check Point’s annual global customer and partner event, dedicated to addressing today’s – and tomorrow’s – most pressing cybersecurity challenges, and helping organisations of all sizes develop strategies to prevent cyberthreats and sophisticated hackers impacting their business.

“Following our recent announcement to add Check Point`s CloudGuard IaaS solution to our ArrowSphere platform as the first cloud marketplace provider, we are proud to reach the next milestone by winning this significant award,” says Nicholas Bannister (pictured), senior director and head of networking and security for Arrow`s enterprise computing solutions business in EMEA. “Now with access to Check Point`s managed service provider program through ArrowSphere, we are looking forward to providing the European channel with an even broader range of sophisticated cyber security solutions.”

“This award recognises Arrow’s excellence in value-added distribution, and its strategic alignment with Check Point that has enabled it to exceed targets and grow sales significantly over the past year,” said Olivier Huck, head of European Channels at Check Point. “The Arrow team has a deep understanding of our CloudGuard security technologies – as shown by the integration of CloudGuard into ArrowSphere - and is extremely proactive in driving end-user awareness and in sharing its knowledge with VARs. This helps to accelerate business growth across the reseller base. They are a truly valued partner.”
