	Check Point calls off Sourcefire buy
		Security company Check Point Software Technologies called off its planned $225 million acquisition of intrusion-prevention firm Sourcefire on Thursday, a week before a federal watchdog was scheduled to release a report which insiders say would have blocked the merger on the grounds of national-security interests.
		Check Point, an Israeli company best known for its firewall technology that defends networks against Internet attacks, announced in October that it had signed a deal to buy Sourcefire, which makes security appliances for protecting a corporation's internal networks.
		Check Point had committed to an all out effort to lobby the committee for approval, but the process fell afoul of international politics following the public outcry over the failure of CFIUS to further investigate a proposed deal that would have given a Middle Eastern company control over six major U.S. ports.

	Check Point FireWall-1/VPN-1 - TechUpdate - ZDNet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Check Point divides the implementation of its network security policy into three components: a graphical interface for administration; a management server that stores security policies and logs; and an enforcement point--a network gateway that actually implements that policy, blocking or allowing traffic where appropriate.
		Check Point claims that its stateful inspection technology is more sophisticated because it builds state--entries in the list of network conversations--by taking advantage of much more information from HTTP and other protocols higher in the network protocol stack.
		Check Point is one of the only firewall vendors that licenses its software based on the number of protected devices (IP addresses for internal interfaces that are visible to the firewall).

		Check Point Software Technologies' FireWall-1 wasn't the first firewall on the market, but the vendor was certainly driving the market with partnership after partnership and innovation after innovation.
