ScanSafe Achieves OPSEC Certification from Check Point.

Leading Web Security-as-a-Service Now Interoperable with World's Largest Firewall Manufacturer

LONDON & SAN MATEO, Calif. -- ScanSafe, the global leader in Web Security-as-a-Service, today announced that its Enterprise Connector has achieved OPSEC[TM] (Open Platform for Security) certification from Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet. Through OPSEC certification, ScanSafe's services seamlessly integrate with Check Point's market-leading VPN-1Power gateway.

"The certification means that Check Point customers can now take full advantage of ScanSafe's security services by simply redirecting all Port 80 traffic for real-time malware scanning and enforcement of policy," said Dan Nadir, vice president, product strategy, ScanSafe. "The powerful combination of ScanSafe Web Security-as-a-Service and Check Point VPN-1 yields significant benefits. Because Web traffic is redirected to ScanSafe, the firewall does not need to access a large anti-virus signature list or a URL database, thereby reducing bandwidth consumption and improving network performance.

"In addition, real-time malware scanning ensures that users are always protected from the latest threats. Without real-time scanning, companies trying to use a static URL policy list for security are finding that their users are still vulnerable to new attacks. We saw a major social networking site widely infected with yet another worm in recent weeks. With tens of millions of pages on that site alone, it isn't reasonable to think that you can know which pages harbor threats unless you scan them in real-time."

ScanSafe's portfolio of services includes Web Malware Scanning, Web Filtering and IM Control. These unique services deliver complete security and control over Web and IM by scanning traffic in real-time and blocking malware and unwanted content before it reaches the corporate network. In addition, ScanSafe provides businesses with easy-to-use tools to create, enforce and monitor Web and IM use policy and protect their networks from unwanted content. As a fully managed service, ScanSafe's solutions require no hardware, no upfront capital costs and no maintenance. As a result, customers typically experience a 30 to 40 percent savings over hardware solutions.

"E-business relies on an open and secure infrastructure," said Amir Ben-Efraim, head of business development at Check Point Software Technologies. "OPSEC Certification of ScanSafe's Enterprise Connector for Check Point VPN-1 ensures that our joint customers can benefit from comprehensive integrated content security solutions to protect their infrastructure."

The ScanSafe Enterprise Connector for Check Point VPN-1 Power is an industry first in its architecture. It facilitates the rapid deployment of ScanSafe's services when edge devices, such as Check Point's VPN-1Power, are present in the corporate network. It also adds local network and user granularity to policy application and reporting, and enables users behind both static and dynamic IPs to enjoy enhanced security.

The Enterprise Connector need only be installed once and provides the administrator full granularity of the service down to individual user level if required. User privileges can then be administered via ScanCenter--a secure policy and reporting Web portal--and can link in with network user directories, such as Active Directory.
