Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the
worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced Check
Point Endpoint Security™ Media Encryption has received Common
Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4+ (EAL4+) certification from
the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP). Media
Encryption (4.95 HFA 01 build 238) adds to the extensive portfolio
of certified Check Point Endpoint Security products available to
those customers that require the highest-level of security
certification.
Check Point Media Encryption enables businesses to secure
sensitive corporate data and block incoming malware by encrypting
removable media devices, such as USB drives, CDs and DVDs. The
solution can be deployed independently or as part of Check Point
Endpoint Security, the first and only single agent that combines
all the critical components for total security on the endpoint.
Achieving EAL4+ certification for Media Encryption indicates it
has passed a long and stringent evaluation process. The
International Standard Organization initially adopted Common
Criteria and uses EAL levels as global standards. EAL4
certification provides assurance to government agencies, and any
organization protecting mission critical assets, that Check Point
security solutions meet or exceed strict criteria.
"Data encryption has increasingly become a vital security
requirement for many organizations, especially as the proliferation
of removable media devices enables users to extract corporate data
in an instant and can easily result in a security breach," said Ben
Khoushy, vice president of endpoint products at Check Point
Software Technologies. "Achieving EAL4+ certification reinforces
Check Point's commitment to the quality of its product development,
as well as providing the highest level of trust and protection to
our customers."
In addition to Media Encryption that offers customers
comprehensive port and removable media protection, Check Point also
offers Full Disk Encryption for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux based
computers, and mobile phone encryption through Pointsec Mobile.
Check Point encryption software blades are quick and simple to
deploy, scale to any size organization, are proven in many industry
and government deployments around the world, and support the
broadest set of platforms. EAL4+ certification for Media Encryption
is the latest of many industry standards Check Point products
consistently meet. More information on third-party certifications

"Demonstrated by Check Point's ability to consistently achieve
the highest industry certifications, customers have the confidence
that their network and endpoints are protected by the industry's
most advanced security solutions," concluded Khoushy.
