Radware Provides Leading Attack Mitigation Capabilities for Check Point's  DDoS Protector(TM) Appliance Line

Partnership Underscores Radware's Leadership and Value in Application and Network Security

MAHWAH, New Jersey, June 20, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Radware [http://www.Radware.com ](R) (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of application
delivery [http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/default.aspx ] and
application security
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationNetworkSecurity/default.aspx ] solutions for
virtual and cloud data centers, today announced that it has entered a strategic
partnership with Check Point(R) Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP)
[http://www.checkpoint.com ], the worldwide leader in securing the Internet. Under the
agreement, the new line of Check Point DDoS Protector
[http://www.checkpoint.com/products/ddos-protector/index.html ](TM) appliances will be
based on Radware's Attack Mitigation System (AMS).

    Check Point DDoS Protector can extend an organization's security perimeters to block
destructive DDoS attacks before they cause damage. With ultra-fast response times, the
DDoS Protector appliance blocks a wide range of attacks within seconds, and can be easily
customized to meet specific network environments and security needs. Check Point customers
benefit from 24x7 customer support and access to a dedicated emergency response team.

    "It's no secret that Denial of Service attacks represent a serious challenge to
businesses worldwide, and this offering will provide organizations with the capabilities
they need to mitigate these threats," said Amnon Bar-Lev, president at Check Point
Software Technologies. "Through our partnership with Radware, we are bringing our
customers road-tested technology matched with our market-leading security expertise."

    Added Shai Schiller, vice president, Corporate Development and Strategic Business,
Radware: "Teaming with Check Point on the DDoS Protector line of security appliances
brings together two industry leaders in a best-of-breed solution to help business
effectively detect and block in seconds the type of DoS attacks that overuse network and
application resources. We are very excited to be selected by Check Point for this
strategic relationship, which is further proof of the leadership and value that Radware
brings to the application and network security space."

    Cybercriminals are leveraging DoS and DDoS attacks to disrupt corporate networks. They
can flood targeted networks with an overwhelming amount of traffic or with a few
well-crafted requests - completely interrupting legitimate business traffic. According a
recent study of global application and network security
[http://www.radware.com/Resources/lp.aspx?campaign28918&WT.mc_id 11GlobalApplicationNetSecurityReport_HP ]
conducted by Radware's Emergency Response Team, DoS attacks have
become much more organized, professional and complex with attackers using as many as five
different attack vectors in a single attack campaign.
