Arbor Networks Achieves OPSEC Certification from Check Point Software; Peakflow X Seamlessly Integrates with Industry's Most Recognized Security Framework to Combat Worm Attacks.

LEXINGTON, Mass. -- Arbor Networks, a leading provider of internal network security systems, today announced that its Peakflow(R) X worm detection and defense solution has achieved OPSEC(TM) (Open Platform for Security) certification from Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet. Peakflow X now seamlessly integrates with Check Point's market-leading VPN-1(R) Pro(TM), an integrated VPN-1 and FireWall-1(R) gateway making it possible for enterprises to stop worms and harden networks against future attacks.

"Enterprises today are losing millions because of worm attacks that infect their networks, causing downtime and cleanup costs," said Tom Schuster, vice president of sales and marketing at Arbor Networks. "With Peakflow X integrated with Check Point VPN-1 Pro, enterprises can leverage their existing security systems to protect the inside of their networks against worms and other cyber attacks."

Enterprise customers utilizing Arbor Networks' Peakflow X benefit from the solution's Safe Quarantine(TM), Worm Vaccine(TM), and Network Hardening capabilities. Worm Vaccine is the industry's first tool that hardens internal networks before new vulnerabilities are published and exploited. With its zero-day detection and mitigation capabilities, Safe Quarantine stops worm propagation without interrupting critical business processes. Using behavior-based anomaly detection, Peakflow X protects enterprise networks without the use of signatures.

"OPSEC certification assures customers that Peakflow X seamlessly interoperates with Check Point VPN-1 Pro to proactively secure internal networks from future attacks," said Upesh Patel, director, business development for Check Point Software Technologies. "Arbor Networks has gone through rigorous testing to achieve OPSEC certification for Peakflow X, and customers will enjoy the management capabilities provided by the integration."
