Getting One Step Ahead at Check Point’s European Sales Kickoff 2016

I was one of the lucky delegates from the UK to attend Check Point’s annual European Sales Kick Off (SKO) 2016 last week to get One Step Ahead!

I was one of the lucky delegates from the UK to attend Check Point’s annual European Sales Kick Off (SKO) 2016 last week to get One Step Ahead!

Check Point SKO 2016 - Barcelona Spain

This year’s SKO was held in the beautiful city of Barcelona, Spain; there were some exciting announcements made last week, but all 1,518 European delegates were sworn to secrecy, until the final APAC SKO, that is held in Macau, China in February 2016.

However, you won’t need to wait long until Check Point make those announcements. The Americas’ SKO team will find out this week and they will be sworn to the same secrecy pact that all the European delegates made last week. So…keep eyes peeled on social media, or my Twitter feed, around 3rd February 2016!

The key messages this year were:

That ‘You Must Be One Step Ahead’ and I have to agree, that is what Check Point Software Technologies does best, when it comes to network security.

Block attacks before they happen;

Defend with advanced tools that stop today’s and tomorrow’s threats;

Protect every frontier – from mobile to cloud;

Block attacks that others cannot.

My key takeaway this year is collaboration – share your ideas, work together, work smarter and trust your neighbour. I never thought I would be saying the latter, but I really do think it’s possible to work with a competing reseller if you have the right mind-set and the common goal to deliver world-class network security solutions.

So what else was good about the European SKO2016. The amazing Spanish tapas, and hooking up with Check Point UK and EMEA teams.

This week, it’s back the grindstone and making it another successful year working with Check Point Software Technologies.
