Legal Software Company Reaches Verdict Using Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 SmallOffice

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., — Dec. 23, 2002 — Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that the leading provider of electronic discovery services for the legal industry, Applied Discovery Inc., has selected Check Point's market-leading security solutions to provide virtual private network (VPN) connections for its remote offices and employees.

As a pioneer in developing software-based tools for legal professionals, Applied Discovery required a proven security solution that would allow administrators to quickly deploy and manage remote office connections and protect critical network resources. They found their solution in Check Point's market-leading security suite, including: VPN-1® Pro, VPN-1®/FireWall-1® SmallOffice™ and VPN-1® SecureClient.

"Secure access to information is critical for members of the legal industry, which makes it essential for us to constantly maintain the highest levels of security," said Mark Stokes, executive director of Information Technology for Applied Discovery Inc. "We chose Check Point solutions because of the company's reputation as a true market leader with innovative technology, advanced security and management capabilities to efficiently and securely connect remote offices without compromising the corporate network."

Applied Discovery selected Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 SmallOffice running on the Celestix FV Series appliances to protect branch offices and Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) IP series network security appliances to secure headquarters and the internal network. To complement this solution, Applied Discovery will also deploy Check Point's VPN-1 SecureClient™, which integrates a personal firewall with secure remote access and centralized management capabilities to empower mobile workers to securely connect to sensitive information inside the network.

"Applied Discovery is leveraging Check Point SmallOffice solutions to quickly deploy cost-effective security to remote employees and branch office sites and manage it through a single management infrastructure," said Carol Stone, vice president of marketing for Check Point Software Technologies. "This is a perfect example of how customers can leverage solutions from Check Point and its 'Secured by Check Point' appliance partners to take advantage of easy-to-deploy, integrated security and management options to securely connect and protect small/branch offices."
