SmartDefense Subscription Service Achieves Significant Milestone

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.-November 11, 2003 - Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced significant customer adoption of its premier application attack prevention solutions, with the sales of more than 10,000 licensed gateway subscriptions to the SmartDefense™ subscription service. Introduced in April 2002, Check Point's SmartDefense technology and subscription service was the first solution to provide real-time intelligence and active protection against known and unknown network and application attacks - safeguarding customers against the recent slew of Internet worms like Blaster/LoveSan and others.
