Research Firm
SAN CARLOS, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 10, 2014) - Check Point®
Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in
securing the Internet, today announced that the company held the
number one vendor position in worldwide combined Firewall and UTM
appliance revenue for the Full Year (FY) 20131 according to the
latest IDC Tracker research data.
Data in the IDC Worldwide Security Appliance Tracker
indicated:
- Check Point led the global market in combined Firewall and UTM
appliance revenue share for FY 2013.
- Check Point is the leader in combined Firewall and UTM factory
revenue in both the U.S. and Western Europe for FY 2013.
"Our continued market leadership in 2013, and recognition by
IDC, is a testament to our innovative technology, rock-solid
partner network and unmatched customer focus," said Amnon Bar-Lev,
president at Check Point Software Technologies. "The threat
landscape continues to grow more complex, and our customers rely on
both our world-class hardware, and our full-scale security
solutions to help them be more secure. With our revolutionary
advances in security infrastructure such as Software-defined
Protection, our global threat prevention and intelligence
capabilities, and best-in-class appliances that scale from small
businesses to enterprise data centers, we are very confident of our
continued success in 2014."
IDC defines firewalls as appliances that have as their primary
function general-purpose filtering of networking traffic through
packet filtering, stateful inspection, or proxy. UTM appliances
combine at a minimum network firewalling, network intrusion
detection and prevention, and gateway antivirus (AV) onto a single
device, though other functions may also be included as well.
Check Point has been a leader in the firewall market since its
founding in 1993. Entering the security appliance business in 2006,
the company has aggressively grown its enterprise hardware
business. In 2013, Check Point introduced eight new appliances,
protecting small businesses with the 600 appliances, securing up to
data centers with the recent launch of the 13500
appliance.
Check Point's 16 security appliances deliver powerful turnkey
systems for deploying and optimizing Check Point's award-winning
