Martin Collins, Head of Networking and Security for Ultima, received the award during Check Point Experience (CPX), a three-day European conference held in Nice. The event is part of Check Point’s customer event series and attracts thousands of delegates from around the world who gather each year to learn how cyber security leaders are tackling the latest malware and hacking threats targeted at businesses.
For more than 15 years, Ultima has worked with Check Point’s enterprise security portfolio, offering enterprise clients protection against increasingly sophisticated cyber security threats.
Commenting on the award, Martin Collins said: “We’re delighted to receive this prestigious award from Check Point for Partner of the Year. Ultima invests heavily in staff training to ensure our technical consultants are highly capable in providing end-to-end solutions for our customers. An example of this is the recent certification we’ve been awarded as one of only a handful of specialist UK partners that are providing businesses with zero-day malware protection using Check Point’s latest ‘Sand Blast’ technology.”
Scott Dodds, CEO of Ultima added: “We’re in a unique position to help our customers. Not only do we have the skillsets to work with leading enterprise vendors such as Check Point, but also our risk management division allows us to bring together leading technologies, people and processes. This enables Ultima to adopt a more holistic approach towards reducing risk and ensuring business continuity for our customers.”
Michael Wakefield, Head of Channel Sales for Check Point UK & Ireland, said: “For the past 15 years Ultima Business Solutions has continually provided their customers with the best security available. Their growth and investment in Check Point’s new technologies leave them well placed to protect their customers for the future in an ever-changing threat landscape. We truly value the contribution, investment and commitment Ultima has made to Check Point. The award for Partner of the Year is thoroughly deserved.”
