Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the

The latest Security Gateway R71 course materials include
hands-on exercises and an online library with downloadable study

learn how to configure security policies, secure communications
across the network and defend against emerging Internet threats
from the convenience of their own computer -- without travel or

enables security administrators to study and collaborate with peers
in a dynamic, virtual learning environment that leverages new
online classes and labs.
With over 50,000 Check Point certified security professionals
worldwide, the company's Security Administrator (CCSA) and the

recognized and respected in the security community. According to a
recent report conducted by Foote Partners, an independent IT
benchmarking research and advisory firm, Check Point CCSA and CCSE

addition, the firm noted the market value of IT security
certifications has increased over the last few years showing a jump
