In this wide-ranging episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, cybersecurity leader Joe Saunders of Check Point shares his journey—from Cuban cigars to global IT strategy. Recorded live at Pax8 Beyond 2025, this conversation blends personal passions with serious insights on cybersecurity, leadership, and AI.

Joe kicks things off with a deep appreciation for cigars, explaining how a Cuban cigar gifted at a Pax8 event sparked his fascination. From flavor profiles to Connecticut Maduro wrappers, Joe uses the cigar world as a metaphor for personalization and nuance—something he also values in business relationships.

The conversation shifts to Check Point’s major Infinity Platform launch, a consolidated suite of AI-powered security tools designed to better serve MSPs and SMBs. Joe highlights the importance of MSP-focused features like multi-tenancy, API integrations, and compliance frameworks (SOC, ISO), all tailored for modern partner operations.

He also reflects on the role of discipline and self-awareness in his own growth, echoing Joey’s own health journey. Joe closes by inviting MSPs to visit the Check Point booth, try the platform with free licenses, and embrace AI-driven security innovation.

🚀 Top 3 Highlights:

  1. 🔐 The Infinity Platform: Check Point’s unified AI-powered security suite for MSPs
  2. 🥃 Why cigars symbolize the importance of personalized relationships in tech
  3. 🧠 Joe’s approach to self-reflection, honesty, and long-term personal growth
