REDWOOD CITY, CALIF., -- March 31, 1998 – Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., (NASDAQ: CHKPF), the leading provider of policy-based enterprise security and traffic management solutions, today announced that its Check Point™ FireWall-1 enterprise security software suite has won the 1998 Network Magazine Product of the Year award for the firewall category. "Sifting through the dozens of products can be maddening, but there is one that's still the best," according to Network Magazine. "Check Point Software's FireWall-1 was the early favorite in the firewall marketshare race, and although other companies are trying to eat into its piece of the cake, Check Point continues to beef up its product so it's second to none." "We looked for products that are sure to make a significant impact on our readers' networks, and therefore, on their businesses," said Alan Zeichick, editor-in-chief of Network Magazine. "We looked at how capable these products are at solving new problems and creating new opportunities for empowering employees, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing enterprise computing costs." "The Network Magazine Product of the Year award is truly important to Check Point, as it continues the award-winning heritage of our FireWall-1 product," said Dr. Deborah Triant, CEO and president of Check Point Software Technologies, Inc. "We have worked diligently to differentiate FireWall-1 by utilizing superior technology to develop a single application suite which integrates all aspects of enterprise network security. It is an honor to receive recognition for this work from a leading industry resource like Network Magazine." Check Point FireWall-1 is an enterprise security suite which combines Internet, intranet/extranet and remote user access control with authentication, encryption, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), network address translation (NAT) and content screening services to deliver an integrated solution that scales to meet the demands of organizations large and small.
