which delivers local, personal support through a certified collaborative support partner (CCSP) who has access to expert tools and resources and is backed by Check Point global technical assistance centers (TAC).

How Collaborative Enterprise Support Works

Any time you need help contact your local CCSP Support Provider first. With Collaborative Enterprise Support, Check Point provides only backline support. For first-line SLA and pricing please contact your local CCSP. That means besides your CES service contract with Check Point you'll also want to sign a first-line support contract with your CCSP partner as it is your point of contact for any support issue. Service Requests (SR) with Check Point support can only be opened by your certified and trained support partner who understands your needs.

compliments your (1- EBS) or (2 - CES) and takes your support to the next level by adding proactive reactions.

It combines security expertise and machine intelligence to monitor your management and security gateways daily and identify points of failure before they occur. When a severe issue is detected, a Check Point PRO expert proactively contacts you to help resolve the issue and prevent service downtime. Check Point PRO also provides you with a comprehensive report, delivering an overview of your overall security, diagnostics and actionable insights.
