REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:CHKP - News) the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that Click! Network, a broadband cable television and high-speed Internet services provider in Tacoma, Wash., selected Check Point's market-leading Internet security solutions to secure and manage multiple private networks.

As an extension of Tacoma Power's electricity system, Click! Network delivers cable television, high-speed data transport, and high-speed Internet services to nearly 800 miles of robust fiber optic and coaxial cables throughout the Tacoma area. Click! Network was the first provider in the U.S. to offer high-speed Internet over cable modem services via multiple ISPs, all using the same shared broadband network.

Click! Network was challenged with having to manage a private network, a link to private networks and data, and a public network. Each network must then be protected from another as well as from the hordes of attacks coming through the Internet. Additionally, Click! Network needed to protect the records of its cable TV customers, broadband customers, and Internet over cable modem customers. The company's Internet security needs were met with a comprehensive suite of security and management solutions from Check Point. Click! Network deployed Check Point's market-leading solutions to ensure customer privacy, maintain network reliability and quickly install robust security.

"Check Point was the only vendor that could deliver the features we needed in a single package, with the added benefit of training and services," said Steve Roberts, senior telecommunications engineer for Click! Network. "In choosing our Internet security solution, I can honestly say, we could not find a competing security solution that could match Check Point's robust functionality."

To provide isolated protection for private networks, ensure network reliability and provide customers with world-class security, Tacoma's Click! Network deployed a full suite of Check Point solutions including:

Click! Network appreciates the high level of product integration and ease of management of the Check Point solutions. "When we launched the Check Point Internet security solution, we found SecurePlatform easy to install and the SMART management suite easy-to-use and well designed for very specific control," explained Roberts.

"Our service provider customers require comprehensive security solutions that allow for network reliability, management of multiple firewalls, flexible security policy deployment and scalability to grow with its infrastructure," said Carol Stone, vice president of marketing for Check Point Software Technologies. "We are pleased to see Click! Network leverage our solutions to provide secure and reliable cable and high-speed Internet services to their users."
