One of our three Platinum Sponsors for the 2013 Secue360 Conference includes Check Point, the worldwide leader in securing the Internet. We recently interview Liz Cruz, field marketing manager – US Central Region about the company.
Secure 360: Can you give us a little background about Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. and let our audience know about the key services you provide?

Secure360: What do you think consumers and businesses should be most concerned about when it comes to risk and security these days?
Liz Cruz: With the increase in sophistication of cyber threats, many targeted attacks begin with exploiting software vulnerabilities in downloaded files and email attachments. These threats include new exploits with no existing protections (and cannot be prevented by Anti-virus solutions). Traditional solutions have focused on detection, providing notifications after a threat has breached the network. With Check Point Threat Emulation Technology, new threats are blocked and infection does not occur.
Secure360: Can you talk a bit more about the range of services you provide? What would be a real-world example of why a consumer or SMB might utilize one of your services?
Liz Cruz: Check Point is currently launching a new hardware product line squarely targed at the SMB Market. This gives the SMB market the same defenses as used by every member of the Fortune 100. After all, the SMB market is plugging into the SAME internet, and facing similar threats! No need to compromise based on size!
