Check Point® Software has announced the winners of its UK Partner Awards. The annual awards ceremony, which took place at One Moorgate Place on March 6th, 2025, celebrated the input of Check Point’s affiliate companies and the growing partner community across the UK.
The 2025 Check Point UK Partner Awards recognised the continued dedication of trusted UK partners over the past year and their commitment to helping organisations become more secure. A gala dinner was held to celebrate these successes, followed by the awards presentations. Mark Weir, Regional Director UK&I at Check Point Software, and Martin Rutterford, Channel Director for the UK & Ireland at Check Point Software, opened the event by reflecting on the company’s achievements over the past year. Charlotte WIlson, Head of Enterprise Sales at Check Point Software, joined esteemed comedian Tom Allen to present the awards.
Organisations of all sizes have faced unprecedented challenges when it comes to cyber security over the past year. Check Point’s State of Cyber Security 2025 report revealed that there’s been a worrying 44% increase in global cyberattacks year on year, with a 58% surge in infostealer attacks, pointing to a maturing threat ecosystem. This, compounded by the rising threat faced by AI-fuelled attacks, increased targeting of Edge devices, and complexity of ransomware, has presented organisations with a challenging cyber landscape to manage thoroughly, especially alongside maintaining innovation and business growth. Check Point’s partners help organisations manage the rising risks with trust and ease, making the business ecosystem safer for all.
The Check Point UK Partner Awards recognise the exceptional accomplishments of regional industry leaders in tackling the critical cyber security issues their clients face. These awards celebrate the commitment, effort, and triumphs of key figures in the cyber security field who are working relentlessly to safeguard businesses and individuals in the face of rising threats. Channel partners are indispensable as an extension of these organisations, assisting in the development of resilience and the reinforcement of cyber security, all without requiring internal Security Operations Centres (SOCs).
