March 19, Ramat Gan, Israel: Log-On Software, a leading provider of database and security software solutions, today announced that it has achieved OPSEC™ (Open Platform for Security) certification for SQL-Guard 2.0, from Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet. Through OPSEC certification, SQL-Guard 2.0 integrates with Check Point's market-leading VPN-1®/FireWall-1® software providing customers with enhanced protection to back-end databases.

Leveraging Check Point's OPSEC framework, SQL-Guard is the first software solution to implement an additional security layer for the increased protection of valuable information in back-office databases. Log-On's innovative solution proactively blocks unauthorized SQL requests from reaching databases - one of the most simple and common routes employed by hackers, thieves and others who would compromise organizations' highly sensitive data.

"We are delighted that SQL-Guard has received OPSEC certification," said Amnon Keynan, head of the SQL-Guard Business Unit at Log-On Software. "By confirming SQL-Guard integration with Check Point's solutions, customers can now enhance their security architecture with SQL-Guard - allowing them to safely open their database to a wealth of e-business and Intranet opportunities."

"We are pleased to see Log-On Software's SQL-Guard achieve OPSEC certification," said Upesh Patel, manager of the OPSEC Alliance for Check Point Software. "The integration of SQL-Guard with Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 offers customers a unique way to ensure database queries are safe before they reach the back-end database."

About SQL-Guard 2.0 Fully compliant with the OPSEC CVP protocol standards, SQL-Guard is the firstsecurity solution to expand content filtering into the domain of database servers' access control, by parsing the Net8 and Oracle SQL.
