Check Point Software Technologies has appointed Drive Control Corporation (DCC) as its official distributor for South Africa and the SADC region.

The appointment will see DCC distributing Check Point’s complete range of security solutions, which focus on cloud and on-premises security.

The appointment also falls in line with DCC’s current go-to-market strategy, which sees the distributor partnering with vendors that offer products that meet the needs of channel partners, particularly those playing in the medium-sized business to corporate space.

“Our aim is to proactively develop Check Point’s channel coverage; fostering partnerships with important resellers at all levels – from SMB to enterprise – ensuring that the company’s comprehensive suite of security products reach end users that require robust solutions in a time when security attacks are becoming sophisticated and downright detrimental,” notes Fred Mitchell (pictured above), division manager at DCC, regarding the announcement.

“To this end our service will be provided at the standard of excellent and speedy service that resellers have come to expect from the DCC’s Software and Security Division,” he adds.
