EC-Hold Limited, the JSE-listed information security specialist, has been appointed Premier Partner by Check Point, the world leader in secure enterprise networking solutions.
"Premier partner status entitles us to unparalleled access to resources, recognition and support, and enables us to provide our customers with the most powerful tools that make computing safe and reliable,` says Dov Herdan, MD of EC-Hold.
The Check Point partner multi-tier reseller program is designed to recognise and reward reseller partners based on their level of training and investment in Check Point. Premier partners have achieved the highest level of designation, indicating extensive technical competence on Check Point products and are the partners of choice in deploying enterprise wide security solutions.
"The Check Point partner alliance is part of Check Point`s ongoing effort to strengthen and add more structure to key partner relationships. EC-Hold has demonstrated an ability to provide a high level of product installation, configuration, product use, and trouble shooting support for its customers," adds Herdan.
EC-Hold will benefit from a number of services provided to premier partners. Some of these include technical, marketing and pre-sales support, eligibility for beta programs, early or pre-release access to new software and product features.
Check Point`s integrated architecture includes network security, traffic control and IP address management. Check Point solutions enable customers to implement centralised policy-based management with enterprise-wide distributed deployment. Its products integrate with `best-of-breed` products from almost 200 leading industry partners.
According to Herdan, the information and network security market continues to expand in South Africa, in response to the growth in information management and electronic commerce. EC-Hold`s subsidiary SMCec specialises in the development and implementation of information and network security systems.
