Check Point Software has announced a major expansion of its Managed Service Provider (MSP) platform, unveiled at the Pax8 Beyond 2026 conference and rolling out globally to its partners. The move is aimed at helping MSPs secure AI adoption among their customers, streamline operations, and simplify the delivery of managed security services.
The announcement brings together three strategic pillars under a single MSP vision: capabilities for securing AI and AI usage, a new multi-tenant MSP management platform with Management Control Plane (MCP) access, and unified managed security bundles delivered through a simplified licensing model. According to Check Point, the goal is to help MSPs evolve from infrastructure providers into strategic security and AI transformation partners.
Closing the AI security gap
While much of the conversation in the MSP community has centred on using AI, Check Point argues that securing it has been overlooked. The company points to findings from its 2026 Cloud Security Report, which found that although 77% of organisations have updated their security strategies in response to AI, only 26% say they have the architectural capability to enforce them, a gap the vendor says is widening.
To address this, Check Point is extending its Workforce AI Security offering into the MSP ecosystem, allowing partners to discover AI usage across customer environments, govern employee interactions with AI tools, and protect sensitive data across emerging AI applications and agents.
“AI is reshaping both the threat landscape, and the expectations customers now place on their service providers,” said Dave Meister, Vice President of MSP/MSSP at Check Point Software Technologies. “MSPs are no longer just managing infrastructure — they are helping customers navigate AI transformation. With these new capabilities, we’re giving our partners their first opportunity to discover, secure and govern AI usage, and AI agents at scale in an MSP friendly monthly consumption model with no minimums or lock-ins in a multi-tenanted environment.”
A platform built for scale
The new MSP platform gives partners access to the Check Point product portfolio in a multi-tenant environment, with native integration of AI security capabilities including Workforce AI. It also expands Professional Services Automation (PSA) integrations as part of the company’s open-garden strategy, adds MCP access for the MSP portal, and introduces a dedicated MSP experience team focused on support, onboarding, and partner enablement.
Alongside the platform, Check Point introduced unified MSP security bundles combining email, endpoint, browser and mobile security, SASE, Workforce AI, security awareness training, and DMARC into a single integrated offering. Delivered under a single SKU aligned to partners’ Microsoft licensing, the bundles are designed to reduce tool sprawl, streamline procurement, and accelerate customer onboarding.
“As MSPs help customers navigate rapid AI adoption, there is growing demand for solutions that are easier to manage, consolidate fragmented tools, and support evolving security requirements,” said Oguo Atuanya, Corporate Vice President of Vendor Experience at Pax8. “Check Point’s approach brings together AI security, centralised management, and simplified service delivery in a way that aligns with how partners want to scale and support their customers in the era of AI transformation.”
Pax8 named Check Point the official AI sponsor of Beyond 2026 and highlighted the announcement during its keynote. The distributor has also named Check Point its Most Valuable Vendor, with the award set to be presented on the Beyond 2026 mainstage.
The new MSP platform is available to Check Point partners from today. More information is available at checkpoint.com/partners/msp-program.
