CHECK POINT SOFTWARE PROVIDES UPDATE ON SOURCEFIRE ACQUISITION

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., – Feb. 13, 2006 – Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the world leader in securing the Internet, received notice its pending acquisition of Sourcefire®, Inc. has moved into the investigative stage with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In order to clear the transaction with the United States Government, Check Point submitted two regulatory applications. Check Point received U.S. anti-trust approval and was advised that CFIUS would continue reviewing the application during a 45-day investigative period.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

CFIUS, an inter-agency committee, is chaired by the Secretary of Treasury. Pursuant to the Exon-Florio legislation, CFIUS reviews proposed foreign acquisitions of U.S. companies in order to protect national security while maintaining the credibility of the United States open investment policy. The Exon-Florio legislation provides for a 30-day review following notification of a potential acquisition. CFIUS has the option to extend the review period for an additional 45-day review (or “investigation”).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Check Point and Sourcefire are both committed to working cooperatively with the committee during the investigative period.

Safe Harbor Statement

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding Check Point’s expectations regarding the timing of receipt of any regulatory approvals and completion of the acquisition. These statements pertain to future events, and therefore they are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from Check Point’s current expectations and beliefs. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the parties’ ability to consummate the Sourcefire transaction, including the ability of the parties to secure the CFIUS approval required for the transaction on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule, if at all; and other factors and risks discussed in Check Point’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2004, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Check Point assumes no obligation to update information concerning its expectations.
