Check Point® Software Technologies recently celebrated the achievements of its UK partners at an Awards Gala held in London.
In 2024, cyber threats have evolved into a formidable challenge for individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide. According to Check Point, an organisation in the UK has been attacked on average 750 times per week in the last six months. With the rapid advancement of technology, cybercriminals have capitalised on sophisticated tactics, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation to orchestrate complex attacks.
Speaking at the event, Mark Weir, Regional Director UK&I at Check Point Software said: "Our partners are the backbone of our success, turning collaboration into powerful forces for growth. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to excellence motivate us to continuously innovate and deliver our solutions to every corner of the market.”
“By pooling our collective expertise and resources, we not only strengthen defenses for the customers, but also cultivate a culture of cyber resilience across entire regions and industries. Through shared knowledge and proactive outreach, we’re paving the way for a safer digital future for all."

He is also raising money for the hospice as part of CRN’s Fight Night charity tournament which takes place on the 23rd of May.
