CHECK Point Software Technologies Ltd. 839154788 CHKP

This article focuses on how Check Point company faces up to the challenges of competition in the computer industry in the U.S. In a departure from its history as a software-focused company, Check Point has rolled out a series of appliances to meet demand for simpler-to-implement security gear. And it has expanded its technology scope with two appliances to protect not only network perimeter and WAN connections but also Web and LAN traffic. And earlier in 2004, the company acquired Zone Labs Inc. to obtain endpoint security technologies used for checking remote computers before granting them network access.
