The Stars Program focuses on knowledge, education and collaboration. We believe helping you create a highly-skilled, knowledgeable sales force will grow both our businesses faster and more effectively. Choose the specialty that matches your company’s interest and Stars will provide the tools and resources needed to make you successful.

Check Point offers several specialty areas for Partners to focus. Specialize as a Channel Sales Partner and focus on selling and integrating our wide range of security products; or specialize as a Training Partner focused on teaching and certifying end-customers and partners; or specialize as a post-sales Service Provider focused on maintaining and supporting enterprise security installations.

The Stars program gets your team trained quickly so they become more effective immediately. From co-op funded technical certifications to cost-effective online sales training and customer protection deal registration, we are constantly innovating Stars so our Partners can focus on what you do best: securing customers.

Signing up is simple. We start you off at a 2-Star level and from there your growth is in your control. The faster you grow, the more resources we provide. We train your team, we help fund your marketing, we invite you to joint sales kick-off events. You provide the people and we will outfit them with everything they need to accelerate your business growth.
