REDWOOD CITY, Calif.-November 11, 2003
- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP),
the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced significant
customer adoption of its premier application attack prevention solutions,
with the sales of more than 10,000 licensed gateway subscriptions
to the SmartDefense™ subscription service. Introduced in April
2002, Check Point's SmartDefense technology and subscription service
was the first solution to provide real-time intelligence and active
protection against known and unknown network and application attacks
- safeguarding customers against the recent slew of Internet worms
like Blaster/LoveSan and others. This subscription milestone validates
the effectiveness and superiority of Check Point's Application Intelligence™
and Stateful Inspection technologies, at the heart of its SmartDefense
solutions, and offers yet another proof point of the company's Internet
security leadership.

service provides customers active updates and real-time information
on new and emerging attacks. Together, these solutions deliver a
level of security, response and flexibility that competing hardware-based
