Pay-As-You-Go Contracts

Check Point MSSPClosed Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) - An managed security service provider (MSSP) provides outsourced monitoring and management of security devices and systems.

PAYG is available for these services:

  • Browser Security

  • Email Security

  • Endpoint Security

An MSSP must have permission from its Distributor to sell PAYG services. For more information, see Manage License Permission.
