Redwood City, CA — October 19, 2010

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd., the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced it has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant in Gartner's recent Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection, 20101. According to Gartner research, "Mobile Data Protection (MDP) systems and procedures are needed to protect data privacy and to comply with audit requirements, and every company must include MDP in its IT operations plan."

Check Point is highly recognized by both customers and analysts for its comprehensive protection for all data. Check Point customers may choose from an extensive set of integrated security capabilities--including Firewall/Compliance Check, Full Disk Encryption, Media Encryption and Port Protection, WebCheck Browser Security, Remote Access, and Anti-Malware with Program Control. Check Point's introduction of Abra, an encrypted USB stick that turns any PC into a corporate desktop, has also shown the greatest innovation for removable media.

In addition to the comprehensive endpoint security, Check Point's award-winning Software Blade Architecture, gives customers the flexibility to easily activate addi­tional Check Point Endpoint functionality without the need for new hardware or management complexity.

"With data loss on the rise, Check Point is committed to developing unique solutions that help businesses secure their sensitive data," said Juliette Sultan, head of global marketing at Check Point. "With innovations such as secure browsing and Abra and the ability to deploy all endpoint protection out of a single agent, Check Point delivers higher levels of security while providing a transparent end user experience."

Companies that are positioned in the Leaders quadrant, "have products that work well for Gartner clients in small and large deployments. They have long-term road maps that follow and/or influence Gartner's vision of the developing needs of buyers in the market. Leaders make their competitors' sales staffs nervous, and force competitors' technical staffs to follow their lead. Their MDP products are well-known to clients and are frequently found on RFP shortlists. In 2010, the companies that execute strongly enough to differentiate themselves as Leaders are EPP vendors that all made MDP acquisitions."
