VPN Dynamics Joins Check Point's OPSEC Alliance to Deliver a Line of "Secured by Check Point" Appliances

Santa Clara, CA, January 15, 2002 - VPN Dynamics, Inc. a leading Internet security services and training firm today announced a partnership with Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet. VPN Dynamics will build a line of "Secured by Check Point" VPN/security appliances based on Check Point's market-leading Next Generation (NG) SmallOffice software and the VPN Dynamics appliance platform.

The first in a full line of appliances is the V6, a low cost, compact appliance designed for easy deployments for branch and small office environments. The V6 will be the first "Secured by Check Point" VPN/security appliance integrated and pre-licensed with Check Point Next Generation SmallOffice software.

The VPN Dynamics V6 package includes the new V-Manager software, a centralized management console for rapid deployment. V-Manager administers application and operating system upgrades with rollback features, performs back up as well as restores appliance configuration(s), and gives notification or alerts of critical system events.

"We are pleased to see VPN Dynamics join our OPSEC alliance and look forward to VPN Dynamics delivering a low-cost, compact 'Secured by Check Point' VPN/security appliance," said Asheem Chandna, vice president of business development and product management for Check Point Software Technologies.

"The V6 'Secured by Check Point' appliance provides branch offices with enterprise-class Internet security, while the V-manager extends the central management capabilities to the appliance level," said Pradeep Aswani, President and CEO of VPN Dynamics.

The V6 is currently in beta and is widely available in February 2002. Demonstrating the popularity of the V6 security appliance, VPN Dynamics has already received over 100 customer pre-orders.
