Check Point Direct Blog

 

Imagine selling your thriving business for a measly £6. Sounds absurd, right?

Well, in the wild world of IT security, that's essentially what you're doing if you neglect to safeguard your precious data.

But fear not, Checkpoint Direct has your back with our IT security cover tailored for small business owners, starting at just £6 per month.

Small businesses come in all shapes and sizes, each with its unique set of challenges and vulnerabilities.

Let's look at three types of business and the data they depend on:

 

The Online Boutique

Picture Sarah, the proud owner of an online boutique specializing in handmade jewellery. What began as a lockdown distraction has grown into her main earner.

Her business thrives on the trust of her customers, who entrust her with sensitive personal information like addresses and payment details.

 

 The Family-Owned Restaurant

Now, think about Miguel, who runs a cosy family-owned restaurant, nestled on the corner of a bustling street.

Behind the quaint shopfront lies a treasure trove of information that needs safeguarding.

From customer reservations to employee payroll, his restaurant's reputation relies on much more than just his food.

 

The Freelance Graphic Design Studio

Lastly, Emily, a talented graphic designer who runs her freelance studio.

Her digital portfolio houses client projects, confidential agreements, and intellectual property that are vital to her business's reputation and success.

 

What's at Risk?

In each of these scenarios, the potential fallout from an IT security breach is nothing short of catastrophic.

For Sarah, it could mean losing the trust of her customers and facing legal repercussions for mishandling their data.

Miguel might find himself dealing with financial losses, reputational damage, and even regulatory fines if sensitive customer information is compromised.

And for Emily, a breach could not only jeopardize her client relationships but also put her entire livelihood at stake.

 

Don't Let IT security Be Your Business's Achilles' Heel

In an age where cyber threats lurk around every digital corner, protecting your business shouldn't be a luxury reserved for big business.

It also shouldn’t need a lot of in-house expertise. We take care of everything for you so that you can get on with the important stuff you’re best at.

With Checkpoint Direct's affordable cover starting at just £6 per month, small business owners can rest easy knowing that their data — and their livelihoods — are safe from harm.

 

Our customers and those that follow us on social media will know that we're pioneering Check Point on subscription, bringing world-leading security to businesses of all sizes, with a payment model that works for everyone, and the technical expertise that takes all the hassle out of running the infrastructure. 

We're thrilled to announce that we're adding firewalls to this model. We've been working on it for some time, and although the model and understanding has been developing, the logistics didn't work. 

We're over that hurdle now and for the first time are shipping firewalls to customers, fully configured to work immediately and supported by our expert team. 

This really brings perimeter firewalls within reach of everyone. No onsite expertise is needed, no technical know-how is required - we can do all that and just let our customers enjoy the protection they provide. 

Reach out to us today if you'd like to chat through the options. We're always happy to roll up our sleeves and see what might work for you. 

It's been a long time in discussion, but Check Point, the world's leading vendor of security products is now available on subscription, and Lithify, the company behind Check Point Direct, is proud to be the first reseller to offer these products to customers from our HQ in the United Kingdom. 

Bringing monthly payment terms to Check Point unlocks access to the best security tools for a wide range of businesses and smaller enterprises for whom paying annually in advance isn't desirable or doesn't fit their model. 

We are passionate about making sure that as many organisations as possible are safe from cyber attack, and making these tools (including appliance firewalls) available to all gives us more scope than ever before to help those who need us the most. 

We'd love to hear your feedback on the offers available on this website - let us know what you think.
