Arrow Electronics, a global technology provider, received Check Point Software's 2025 Distributor of the Year award at the 2025 Check Point Software EMEA Partner Awards, held in Vienna.
The recognition highlights Arrow's leadership in delivering AI-driven, prevention-focused cybersecurity outcomes in one of the most dynamically evolving and most targeted cyber regions by hackers worldwide.
The award was given to Arrow for achieving exceptional results in terms of volume and reliability as Check Point's main distributor in the EMEA region. Investments in ArrowSphere Cloud have expanded reach, simplifying consumption models and creating new opportunities for channel partners.
ArrowSphere Cloud is Arrow's award-winning cloud management platform, developed to support the design, delivery and oversight of cloud services. The platform allows channel partners to access a select portfolio of technologies from leading vendors, build multi-vendor solutions, and convert them into deployment-ready packages with automated provisioning.
The award reflects Arrow's extraordinary performance in a region that continues to see some of the world's highest growth rates of sophisticated cyber attacks, including AI-enabled threats, phishing spikes and the growth of ransomware. Channel partners in EMEA have played a critical role in helping customers adopt Check Point's AI-driven, prevention-focused, fully consolidated security architectures, enabling better resilience across cloud, network and hybrid environments.
Nick Bannister, president of Enterprise Computing Solutions EMEA at Arrow, said: "We are proud to receive this award from Check Point. Arrow has focused on helping channel partners meet demand across the EMEA region, while simplifying the way cybersecurity is used through cloud and marketplace-based models. The recognition reflects the consistency of our actions regionally and our commitment to providing channel partners with the tools, programs and marketing channels they need to succeed."
Martin Rutterford, Check Point's interim head of EMEA partner sales and head of distribution channels for the UK and Ireland, said: "Arrow's Enterprise Computing Solutions division plays a vital role in enhancing cyber resilience across EMEA. As the region faces rapid digital growth and some of the most aggressive cyber threats ever, their ability to provide channel partners with the right solutions, skills and tools continues to enhance the entire channel ecosystem. Arrow's commitment to driving success of partners and excellence in cybersecurity sets the gold standard for distribution across the region.”
