NHS cyber resilience deal signals shift toward specialist MSSPs, says Check Point

Check Point Software is highlighting a trend of healthcare and public sector organisations moving from generalist MSSPs to specialist providers with deeper technical expertise. UK-based SEP2, a Check Point Elite Partner, is cited as a case study — the company focuses on a narrow technology stack, runs a 24/7 UK SOC, and has grown revenue 35–40% year-on-year. A recent NHS hospital deployment involving Check Point Maestro Hyperscale Firewall, which required on-site support from both SEP2 and Check Point R&D, resulted in a five-year platform agreement. Check Point expects demand for specialist MSSPs to accelerate in healthcare, financial services, and critical national infrastructure as AI adoption and hybrid complexity grow.
