2022 Goals

CF: Does Check Point have specific goals for 2022? If so, what role do partners play in achieving those goals?

FR: Basically, we want to we want to be able to expand the market. So we want to continue to pursue new customers, and new customer acquisition is going to be led by the partners. There’s no doubt about it. We also want to create more of a global partner network. As our GSIs, telco partners and even some of the partners that I have known for years start to acquire subsidiaries overseas in different theaters, we want to be able to serve the customer globally.

We want to create the best experience for our customers and our partners. Therefore, anything the partners can do to make money and create value-driving customer success, whether that’s pre-sales, doing the assessment, getting the right recommendation or deploying that technology and accelerating that time to value on their part, they’re part of our goals and they’re part of the partners’ goals, too. And finally, we want to grow. We want to grow in our emerging technologies. We want to continue to have growth in cloud security, in Harmony, which is our securing the remote workforce, and we want to be able to be the best in network security.
