Enterprise Internet security company, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., announced yesterday that in mid-2008, Tal Payne will be replacing current Chief Financial Officer Eyal Desheh.

Check Point is one of Israel's largest hi-tech companies and focuses on IT security as relates to network security, data security and security management solutions. Some of the company's products include its NGX platform; Pointsec product line, such as Check Point Full Disk Encryption; and the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite.

According to the Website, Check Point's Pointsec product line offers "market leading data security solutions" by "protecting and encrypting sensitive corporate information stored on PCs and other mobile computing devices." Its Check Point Full Disk Encryption offers security on mobile devices, such as laptops, that are heavily used for business and contain confidential information outside of the office walls, where breaches are more likely to happen.

With more company information in the hands of business professionals who work away from the office, data security is essential as data breach attempts are inevitable. Security software, such as Check Point's, can help database managers take more preventative measures to lessen the chances of data breaches happening on their watch.
