CHECK POINT LAUNCHES ZONEALARM FOR VISTA USING NEW OPERATING SYSTEM SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PROTECTION AVAILABLE

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. - June 15, 2007 – Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced the availability of ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7.1 for the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. ZoneAlarm Antivirus and the free ZoneAlarm firewall were also made available today for Vista.

Check Point is the first major security vendor to utilize the next generation Windows Filtering Platform application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Vista. This also marks the first time that ZoneAlarm’s exclusive Operating System Firewall protection has been made available for Microsoft Vista. By leveraging these and other leading technologies, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite delivers superior levels of protection and reliability.

“By utilizing Vista’s new API and providing a deeper OS-layer firewall, ZoneAlarm can provide consumers with greater protection and stability on the Vista operating system,” said Charles Kolodgy, research director at IDC. “As hackers innovate, security vendors can not rely purely on old methods and old technologies – it’s good to see ZoneAlarm lead the way.”

With comprehensive multi-layer protection, including best-of-breed antivirus, anti-spyware, and the renowned ZoneAlarm firewall, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7.1 safeguards PC users against today’s most complex online threats. Through its exclusive operating system firewall, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite employs the deepest levels of integration with the Vista operating system to proactively prevent threats that basic, traditional firewalls and signature-based systems miss.

“Today’s complex and dynamic Internet threat environment commands security solutions that use the latest and most innovative technologies to stay one step ahead of the bad guys,” said Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager of Check Point’s ZoneAlarm consumer division. “By supporting Microsoft’s new Vista operating system with the latest technologies available, ZoneAlarm continues its longstanding tradition of offering users the highest levels of security without infringing on the user’s experience.”
