Safe3w, Inc. Achieves OPSEC Certification from Check Point Software

Safe3w's IDshield™ SecureAccess Integrates with Industry's Most Recognized Security Framework

GARDEN CITY, New York - December 10, 2002 - Safe3w, Inc., today announced that IDshield SecureAccess has achieved OPSEC™ (Open Platform for Security) certification from Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet.

Through OPSEC certification, SecureAccess seamlessly integrates with Check Point's market-leading VPN-1®/FireWall-1®Next Generation™software, providing strong two-factor authentication that combines a unique machine ID with a username and password. Only registered and approved users can gain access to a company's network. This authentication is achieved through Safe3w's patented technology that reads the serial numbers of a PC's hardware components and creates a unique identifier.

"Check Point customers will now be able to benefit from the security of a second factor of authentication without the cost or hassle of additional hardware tokens or card readers," said Kenneth Bob, CEO of Safe3w, Inc.

"Two-factor authentication is a critical requirement for positively identifying a user," said Upesh Patel, Group Manager, OPSEC Alliance for Check Point Software. "By combining Safe3w IDshield SecureAccess with Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1, customers can deploy a strong two-factor authentication solution that is cost-effective and also easy to implement and maintain."

IDshield integrates with Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 through the OPSEC framework and the industry standard RADIUS protocol. Safe3w will introduce the integrated IDshield solution at booth 536 at Infosecurity 2002 at the Javits Center in New York City.
