PRESS RELEASE

Redwood City, Calif. " April 13, 2010 " Check Point' Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced its new network-based Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution that helps businesses move data loss from detection to prevention by pre-emptively protecting sensitive information—regulatory, confidential and proprietary—from unintentional loss. Check Point DLP provides granular policy definitions that align to existing corporate data processes, educating users on such processes while enforcing them. In addition to a multi-data correlation engine that delivers high accuracy in identifying data breaches, Check Point brings a human factor to DLP by enabling users to remediate potential violations in real-time.

"Data loss prevention is a universal business challenge. At some point, we have all sent an e-mail with sensitive information to the wrong recipient. For the first time in the industry, Check Point solves the challenge of data leakage," said Gil Shwed, chairman, founder and chief executive officer at Check Point. "By combining innovative technology with our UserCheck remediation solution, Check Point DLP enables businesses to enforce corporate policies and educate users while preventing intentional and unintentional data loss."

With Check Point DLP, companies have the option to activate UserCheck technology that will alert employees with a pop-up window, or an email, when data may be at risk. Employees are prompted to quickly remediate incidents before a data breach can occur. Check Point's unique user remediation function educates users on self-incident handling and corporate data policies while minimizing IT exposure to sensitive data.

Files that are sent or uploaded to the web are processed by Check Point's new technology: MultiSpect, a multi-data classification engine that inspects traffic flow for all data-in-motion and provides high accuracy in correlating users, data types and processes. To help companies achieve day-one prevention without costly professional services, Check Point DLP solution provides over 250 pre-defined best practice policies that prevent exposure to personally identifiable information and compliance-related data.

"We evaluated DLP in the past and found a lot of the solutions in the market were extremely complicated and difficult to implement," said Etienne Greeff, professional service director at MIS CDS, an independent security consultancy firm. "Check Point DLP removes the security complexities associated with data loss prevention. We were able to easily apply customizable and pre-defined policies to our business needs and were fully deployed in less than three hours."

"I love the Check Point DLP solution. The user interface is simple to manage and it's easy to understand what types of data are at risk," said Kevin Capp, chief technology officer for the Town of Castle Rock. "It's a relief knowing there is a solution in place that gives us a complete security view of what's happening with our data."

Features and benefits of Check Point DLP solution include:
