REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 10, 2002 - Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, and Internet Security Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISSX), a leading global provider of information protection solutions, today announced that together they are securing the world's largest short-term network, the InteropNet Event Network (eNet), at Networld+Interop in Atlanta, Georgia for the eighth consecutive time. NetWorld+Interop and COMDEX Atlanta 2002 takes place this week, September 9-13, at the Georgia World Congress Center. Check Point and ISS were selected as co-sponsors of the eNet based on their best-of-breed solutions and the ability to successfully support and interoperate with the demanding and disparate multi-vendor networking environment.

The eNet is a full-capacity network that has the sophisticated security capabilities of a large-scale, corporate network.

In addition, Check Point NG has set new standards for VPN and firewall manageability, reliability, scalability and performance by incorporating "One-Click" technologies that greatly simplify VPN deployment and management. Both Check Point and ISS are providing security expertise on-site at the show, and moreover, ISS experts are remotely monitoring the security of the eNet around-the-clock utilizing its leading managed security services from the ISS X-Force™ Global Threat Operations Center (GTOC) in Atlanta.
