SAN CARLOS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/23/15 -- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the largest pure-play security vendor globally, announced today that the company's President, Amnon Bar-Lev, has been named to the prestigious list of the 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs. This is the eighth consecutive year Mr. Bar-Lev has been awarded this honor.

The 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs have demonstrated their enduring support for the channel by consistently defending, promoting and executing effective channel partner programs and strategies. The influential executives on this annual list represent the most powerful leaders in the IT channel who hold direct responsibility for driving growth and revenue for their organizations through their indirect channel partners.

For over a decade, Mr. Bar-Lev has been an influential figure in the strategic growth and success of Check Point's partner program. Most notably, Mr. Bar-Lev recently restructured the partner program into a unique and compelling new program called Check Point Stars. This new innovative program delivers more tools, knowledge, value and business growth opportunities to Check Point's partners. In addition, it will give partners the resources they need to be fully integrated members of the Check Point team. More details on the Stars Partner Program can be found in Check Point's Partner Map portal.
