Arrow Electronics integrates Check Point solutions into ArrowSphere Cloud platform

Arrow Electronics has expanded the capabilities of its ArrowSphere Cloud platform by integrating a comprehensive suite of Check Point Software Technologies solutions. This enhancement empowers channel partners across the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region to leverage fully automated provisioning and consolidated billing for enhanced service delivery within the Check Point MSSP program.

The integration offers full API connectivity to a diverse array of Check Point solutions. These include CloudGuard Network Security Virtual Gateway, Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Harmony Email & Collaboration, and numerous others such as Harmony SASE, Harmony Mobile, Harmony Browse, and Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, as participants in Check Point’s MSSP Program, Arrow’s channel partners can benefit from the streamlined automated provisioning features, rapid deployment options, and access to personalised Check Point training and support resources.

Partners will also gain access to advanced billing and usage dashboards within the ArrowSphere platform, ensuring transparency and accountability. The mutual support embodies flexible pricing models that facilitate scalable, recurring service deliveries.

By offering Check Point’s solutions through ArrowSphere Cloud, Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) can expedite configuration, quotations, and deployments of Check Point’s Harmony security tools. This is bolstered by the capacity to manage costs and usage through a centralised billing dashboard, adding a layer of efficiency and economic management.

The head of strategic alliances at Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business, Mike Worby, emphasises the collaboration goal as simplification. Partnering with Check Point, ArrowSphere Cloud aims to deliver robust, cloud-native security services that MSSPs can manage with optimised efficiency, thereby broadening service offerings and expanding recurring revenue streams for partners.”

Additionally, Shahar Divon from Check Point Software Technologies highlights the platform’s alignment with the MSSP strategy, underscoring how the automation and provisioning capabilities of ArrowSphere Cloud benefit partners by streamlining delivery processes, ensuring solutions are deployed with minimal friction to meet evolving customer demands.

Considered an award-winning platform, ArrowSphere Cloud is integral to Arrow’s mission of supporting the design, delivery, and management of cloud services. Partners have unique flexibility to navigate a curated technology catalogue, build multi-vendor solutions, and transform them into executable packages.

The Check Point solutions are set for availability within the ArrowSphere Cloud in countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and several others beginning September.
