Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the
worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced the
immediate availability of Check Point R75, the latest version of
its leading network security suite based on the Software Blade
Architecture. Check Point R75 is the first release to implement
elements of the Check Point 3D Security vision that redefines
security as a business process combining policies, people and
enforcement for stronger protection across all layers of security.
Check Point R75 introduces four new software blades for
Application Control, Identity Awareness, Data Loss Prevention, and
Mobile Access. The new release enables businesses to gain greater
visibility and control over data, Web 2.0 applications, and mobile
access -- bringing organizations multi-dimensional security in a
single, integrated solution.
"We are pleased to bring to market a release that delivers on
our vision of 3D Security," said Dorit Dor, vice president of
products at Check Point Software Technologies. "Check Point R75
enables customers to extend the firewall into a multi-functional
and multi-dimensional gateway that consolidates protections into a
single, unified solution -- allowing customers to enforce the
security controls they need to respond to evolving needs and
threats."
New in Check Point R75 is the Application Control Software
Blade, which brings a differentiated, modern approach to
application control by providing a combination of robust security
technology, user awareness and broad application control -- each
necessary for employees to utilize Web 2.0 tools without
jeopardizing the security of the enterprise. The new blade
integrates Check Point's unique UserCheck technology to engage
employees in the remediation process and enables IT administrators
to tailor application usage policies based on level of risk and
user needs. In addition, it delivers unmatched application
visibility by leveraging Check Point AppWiki, the world's largest
application library, now with over 100,000 Web 2.0 application and
widgets.
Also new is Identity Awareness, a software blade that enables
organizations to manage security policies by users and groups. With
Identity Awareness, organizations get unmatched application and
access control through the creation of accurate identity-based
policies. Identity Awareness integrates seamlessly with Active
Directory for fast and easy deployment.
"For us, the value of Check Point R75 is twofold. The new
identity awareness capabilities have given us much more context
behind what is happening on the network and by whom," said Gary
Pasikowski, manager of security operations at Vertafore, a leading
provider of insurance software. "Ultimately, this helps us refine
security policies in the future so we can protect corporate
resources, without inhibiting our employees."
Other new or updated Software Blades in Check Point R75 enable
customers to easily implement 3D Security and customize their own
Check Point R75 security gateway with critical protections:
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Software Blade -- Prevents loss of
data and critical business information by scanning emails and web.
While Check Point's robust data classification engine combines
users, content and processes to identify and block potential
breaches, the unique UserCheck technology brings a human factor to
DLP by empowering users to remediate incidents in real-time and
educating them on data loss prevention policies.
- Intrusion Prevention (IPS) Software Blade -- Provides complete,
integrated, next generation firewall intrusion prevention
capabilities at multi-gigabit speeds, resulting in total system
security and performance. Recommended by NSS Labs, Check Point IPS
excelled in the industry's most comprehensive third-party intrusion
prevention group testing to date.
- Mobile Access Software Blade -- Delivers secure connectivity
for iPhones and iPads while protecting data with proven encryption
technology. Ideal for mobile workers using managed or unmanaged
devices, the Mobile Access Software Blade is easy to install and
use with the Check Point Mobile application now available in the
App Store.

"Today's corporations need to do more than layer technologies to
secure their business. They need to develop a security blueprint
that supports their corporate needs, while strengthening their
information security. Check Point R75 takes them in that direction,
providing a strong foundation for 3D Security in a single, unified
solution," concluded Dor.
