David De Laine

Check Point Software Technologies has appointed David De Laine as its regional managing director for Australia and New Zealand.

Based in Sydney, De Laine will look after the firewall vendor's business across the region, including supporting the company’s partner community.

De Laine has more than 20 years of experience in the IT industry and was formerly the country manager for Clearswift Asia Pacific where he was responsible for the management and development of the ANZ sales organisation as well as supporting the company’s channel partner network.

Steve McWhirter, Check Point Software vice-president for Asia, Middle East and Africa, said: “David has a proven track record in sales and business development within IT security and will be a real asset to Check Point as we continue to protect private and public organisations from cyber-attacks.”

De Laine said: “Security attacks come in all shapes and sizes, and regardless of the size or complexity of the attack, the downtime associated with an attack can result in significant revenue losses. I’ll be working closely with the sales teams and our partners to deliver Check Point’s first class solutions to business across Australia and New Zealand."
