new go- to-market organization headed in Silicon Valley. This unified effort will be led by Rupal Hollenbeck who will join Check Point on March 7, 2022 and will lead the Company’s sales and marketing operations globally. Dan Yerushalmi, the

“Check Point recently published its strongest quarterly results and we have already launched several important initiatives that will
help us accelerate our business momentum. Today we announce another significant step in this direction, with the launch of our new global go to market organization, and the appointment of one of the industry’s most accomplished women to lead it”
