Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) Contracts

Check PointMSSPClosed Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) - An managed security service provider (MSSP) provides outsourced monitoring and management of security devices and systems. Common services include managed firewall, intrusion detection, virtual private network, vulnerability scanning and anti-viral services. Partners and Distributors can use Infinity Portal Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) contracts to bill their customers (child accounts) based on usage. PAYG is offered at the service level. For example, an MSSP Partner can have permission from its Distributor to sell PAYG for Harmony Mobile but not for Harmony Endpoint.

PAYG is available for these services:

  • Harmony Browse

  • Harmony Email & Collaboration

  • Harmony Endpoint

  • Harmony Mobile

  • Harmony SASE

An MSSP must have permission from its Distributor to sell PAYG services. For example, Acme Corp. is an MSSP that wants to sell PAYG services to its customers. Cyber Inc. is the Check Point Distributor for Acme Corp. Acme Corp. can sell PAYG services only if it has permission from Cyber Inc.
