Everything You Need to Know

Need Answers? We've Got You Covered!

The purpose of this website is to make buying Check Point as easy as possible.
We want you to find the tools you need easily, and have us manage them for you if you wish, but that doesn't mean we're some faceless bunch of Internet robots.

We are real people, who are passionate about security and we sincerely want you to have the right tools to protect your business from cyber crime.

We like nothing more than to have a good chat and see how we can help. We've listed the most common questions here,  but we're equally happy to talk to you.

Why not reach out to us on the number below (UK, non-geographic, standard rates).

Who are Candid Cyber?

Candid Cyber is a trading name of Sesseto Limited and represents a specific service for small businesses who need assistance with cyber security. As an organisation, we have been supporting critical infrastructure in the UK and beyond for more than a decade, and our directors have been providing cyber security solutions for more than twenty years.

We are a longstanding reseller for Check Point and are able to offer their products here on monthly subscription, bringing enterprise grade products to smaller organisations because we passionately believe that small business is simultaneously most vulnerable and the least protected at the moment.

Who are Check Point?

Check Point have been the market leader in enterprise security products for the last 30 years and are used extensively by the largest organisations worldwide, including many government entities, public sector organisations, and household name businesses.

You can find out more about them at www.checkpoint.com

Why subscribe to Check Point?

Check Point has traditionally been sold through a network of resellers who sell to large organisations through personal touch, and we've been one of those resellers for our  entire history, specialising in helping companies with the most complex security requirements at the cutting edge of security technology.

We love the opportunity to work with IT teams and CISOs on far reaching requirements. If you'd like to talk to us about any size of requirement on Check Point, our technical team each have more than 20 years experience of complex deployments and would be happy to help.

Whilst we're great at more traditional corporate engagements, we know that increasingly, it isn't the approach that everyone wants.

Microsoft have ushered in the era of corporate software as a service, subscription based, and there's no reason why Check Point shouldn't be available in the same way. That's where our subscription services come in. They're avaiable to everyone - organisations large and small with easy monthly payments via our self--service portal.

Is this Really Check Point?

The subscriptions here provide full versions of Check Point's market leading security products. They are not cut-down or restricted in any way and just offer a different purchasing model to the upfront payment offered by most resellers.

There are no limitations to the number of devices or other services which can be provided.

You Deserve the Best Security

When Check Point announced their new strapline we were thrilled because it mirrors what we've been saying for years - you deserve the best, without compromise BUT we think we need to take that message a stage further:

Everyone deserves the best security.

We believe this message should apply to all organisations, large or small.

People, data and systems in a small organisation are no less important than those in large ones, and with these subscription packages, we're able to make the best tools available to everyone, regardless of the size of their budget or headcount in IT.

I didn't know Check Point offered a subscription model!

That's not surprising as Sesseto is the first reseller in the world to offer subscriptions via an automated platform. 

You get the same great products from Check Point, but benefit from the flexibility of monthly subscriptions and (in most cases),  no long term commitment. 

What do we mean by Management/Managed Service?

We believe that managed service should mean that someone (us) gets things up and running and collaborates to ensure you get maximum value from your investment.

We've all experienced MSP services where control disappears to a third party who charge a lot of money and provide a poor service level. That's not our approach. 

You should expect our managed service to take the headache out of running a robust security suite, whilst ensuring that you have everything you need. We should enable you and your team to be more flexible, more collaborative and more creative because we keep you safe whilst you concentrate on what you're good at. 

We'll set everything up for you, configure your services and manage the platform on a daily basis so that you can get on and use the tools.

If you prefer to let us do it all, that's great, but you'll have your own login to the system so you can see what's going on and can make changes of your own.

If you'd like to collaborate with us, we're available via our support desk to work with you as an extension of your in-house team. 

We're here to help, not to add another headache. 

Don't have access to a dedicated security team? That's OK, it's what we're here for.

We recognise that not every organisation has a team of skilled analysts ready to implement and manage Check Point in-house. That's why all our managed bundles include initial implementation, configuration and ongoing management of your service, so that you don't have to worry and can get on with enjoying the benefits of world-class security.

Look! No hands! Just get on with your day whilst we take care of things for you. 

Too good to be true?

Not at all.

The low cost entry point is designed exactly for clients who have small teams or want to trial Check Point with minimal financial risk.

Everything we offer is underpinned by Check Point and the versions offered here are exactly the same as those offered through traditional channels. We just charge differently.

Sesseto is a well-known reseller of Check Point and we are well-known within their community, both in the UK and worldwide.

Our relationship for our subscription offering is conducted directly with the management team in Check Point's Tel-Aviv HQ.

Why these prices?

You may see different quotes from other resellers. It's important to note that the prices published here allow for monthly subscription and importantly,  include configuration and ongoing management which would normally be procured separately (normally at a daily rate somewhere between £1200 and £2500 per day).

If you'd prefer to simply buy licences from us, just look for the "Licence only" packages, or get in touch and we'll make sure that you're quoted accordingly. 

What happens when I sign up?

Clicking "Subscribe Now" takes you to our award-winning subscription platform, we securely record your details and take payment by via Stripe.  You can choose to pay monthly or annually and indicate the number of licences required.

Most subscriptions are available monthly or annually, except where specified.

Once you have signed up, you'll receive an immediate acknowledgement from us, and following that, we'll be in touch to set up your services and make your licences available. At present, this service takes 2-3 working days although can be completed more quickly.

We are working hard with Check Point to speed up this process and developments will be forthcoming.

Is it safe?

We are passionate about security, and that includes everything we do in our own organisation and of course, this service.

Our subscription platform is provided by a global market leader, and all our payments are processed by Stripe, one of the world's leading providers.

Any credit card or bank details are handled directly with the provider and not stored with us. They offer a range of payment methods. Select your preference at checkout.

Any customer details are stored securely and used only for the purposes of managing your account.

We never sell data.

How do I manage my account?

The subscription platform enables you to manage your account online so you have full control of your services. We'll set up an account for you automatically. Just visit https://billing.sesseto.com/p/login/dR6aIi5lz5Jq0jm9AA , input the email address you used at checkout and you'll be send a one-time code to access your account and make any changes.

You are also free to dip into the Check Point management portal too. We'll let you have credentials so that you can collaborate with us and make your own changes should you wish to do so.

How long is the contract?

Our subscriptions for CloudGuard, Endpoint Security, Mobile Security, Browser Security and Email Security are all offered with no ongoing commitment.

Subscriptions for quantum appliance firewalls have a minimum contract of 12 months.

Prefer to trial rather than sign up straight away?

Many of our customers buy a few licences on monthly subscription in the early days so that they can try the products on full versions without a huge outlay. Alternatively, we offer a 14 day trial on most products, so just let us know what you'd like to do and we'll set things up for you. 

Can I switch products mid-term?

Our subscriptions are flexible, so please just let us know what you'd like to do and we'll set you up accordingly or make the changes yourself on our self-service portal: https://billing.sesseto.com/p/login/dR6aIi5lz5Jq0jm9AA

Is it easy to scale up?

The subscriptions offered here start from one device (or mailbox) upwards, but they are available for any size of enterprise. 

The portal that you set up with us can handle an unlimited number of devices (it's exactly the same portal that the largest customers use!), so you can grow as much as you like with no pinch points or reconfigurations.

If you need a large number of licences, talk to us about special pricing for larger deals, we're happy to help. 

How long does it take to get things up and running?

Once you've signed up, it doesn't take long at all for us to get things moving for you.

Licences and portal access are provisioned on the next UK working day and, if you've opted for a managed service, we'll be in touch to discuss implementation and settings shortly after that.

How much impact will implementation have on running my business?

Initial set up is usually opaque to our customers as it happens within Check Point's portal. 

Depending on the services you've chosen, there's normally just a small amount of time required to discuss and agree settings on your system and to deploy the service within your network. It doesn't usually involve significant downtime for users. 

What if I sign up and it's not for me?

That's OK. Just let us know, or visit our self service portal and close your account.

Most of our subscriptions are month to month so we'll just end your service and wish you well. We're always pleased that clients give us a try.

What happens if something goes wrong?

The great thing about our service is that we're always here to help in the event that you run into an issue or have any problems.

Just reach out to us via our support email address or via the contact form below and we'll do everything we can to assist.

I have more questions!

That's OK, feel free to give us a call on 0333 242 0676 or send us a message via the contact form at the bottom of the page. We'd be thrilled to hear from you.

The team has been looking after security for a long time. We're all highly experienced and happy to talk through your requirements.
