CHECK POINT SHIPS FIRST SINGLE AGENT FOR ENDPOINT SECURITY

Check Point Endpoint Security combines VPN, anti-malware, data security and firewall on a single agent and client interface

August 26, 2008 – Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced it has began shipping a new version of Check Point Endpoint Security™, the first single agent for endpoint security to combine the highest-rated firewall, network access control (NAC), program control, remote access, antivirus, anti-spyware, full disk encryption and media encryption with port protection. The new release, Check Point Endpoint Security R70, features a newly enhanced and streamlined interface as well as additional tools for enterprise deployment.

By creating a single endpoint security agent with a single client interface, deploying and managing endpoint security is dramatically simplified. A single tray icon on the endpoint device makes reviewing security status and settings easier and eliminates interoperability conflicts. Consequently, Check Point Endpoint Security’s single agent and client interface reduces the time and costs associated with endpoint security.

“Rather than having to deploy and manage multiple solutions to mitigate each type of endpoint risk, Check Point Endpoint Security provides customers a single easy-to-manage endpoint security solution,” said Dr. Dorit Dor, vice president of products at Check Point. “By combining endpoint security into one comprehensive solution, Check Point eases the burden placed on security administrators.”

“Security administrators are always dealing with the challenge of having to increase network security levels in more efficient, cost effective ways,” said Joe Luciano, chief executive officer at AccessIT. “Check Point Endpoint Security solves the dilemma, by giving enterprises a solution that combines all the endpoint security they need in one solution that can be managed centrally through one console.”

Check Point Endpoint Security R70 features and benefits include:
· Single agent with combined firewall, NAC, program control, remote access, antivirus, anti-spyware, full disk encryption and media encryption with port protection provides superior security and eliminates the need to deploy and manage multiple agents, reducing total cost of ownership.
· Single client interface for all local endpoint security administration assures compatibility of endpoint security technologies and simplifies end-user experience
· Unique distribution utility lets administrators deploy customized installations quickly and easily
· Windows Vista support allows new Vista-based PCs to seamlessly plug into a customers IT environment
