Check Point Positioned In the Leaders Quadrant for 2007 Mobile Data Protection Magic Quadrant

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF and STAMFORD, CONN., September 18, 2007 – Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant in the "Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection, 2007"1 report.

According to Gartner, "Leaders have products that work well for Gartner clients. They have long-term road maps that match Gartner's vision of the developing needs of buyers in the market. They make their competitors' sales staff nervous and force competitors' technical staffs to follow their lead. Their mobile data protection products are well-known to clients, and they encounter little resistance in selling their products."

"We are honored to be positioned in the leaders quadrant by Gartner and consider it to be further validation of our success and commitment to securing sensitive information," said Bob Egner, vice president of product management at Check Point. "With data loss incidents on the rise and regulations tightening, Check Point offers businesses, through our Pointsec® products, complete, industry-proven solutions that deploy quickly and easily to protect all sensitive data."

Laptops and other mobile storage devices such as USB sticks are shrinking in size while expanding in storage capacity, making them increasingly popular for employees on the go. Yet they are also easily lost. As businesses realize that safeguarding sensitive mobile data is critical to keeping proprietary information out of the wrong hands, the market demand for a comprehensive data protection solution is rising dramatically.

Check Point data security solutions, Pointsec PC®, Pointsec Mobile® and Pointsec Protector®, are the most-widely deployed data protection solutions today. They are quick and simple to deploy, scale to any size organization, proven in every type of industry and government agency around the world, and support the broadest set of mobile platforms. Check Point solutions completely protect data on laptops, desktops, PDAs, smartphones, USB drives, and other removable media by combining strong encryption with access control. Performance of the device is retained, and no user interaction or behavioral changes are required. This ensures all data remains protected, company image stays intact and regulatory requirements are met.
