We expect that this acquisition will allow us to address growing customer requirements for a unified security offering that integrates IPS and RNA™ with firewalls, VPNs, gateways and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions. We share a common vision of integrating network and endpoint intelligence with network security, and we expect Check Point’s substantial technical, financial, channel and industry strengths will allow us to accelerate our pace of innovation while reaching a global market of enthusiastic Check Point partners and customers. Our shared passion for excellence and Check Point’s strong commitment to Sourcefire’s employees, products, partners, customers and the Snort® community were paramount in making this decision. Check Point is known as one of most channel friendly companies in the industry, and we look forward to leveraging Check Point’s expertise in working with channel partners. Many of you are already Check Point partners and will easily understand the value that the combination of Check Point and Sourcefire technology will bring to the market. We believe Sourcefire products and technologies will strengthen Check Point’s unified security architecture and will further enhance Check Point's position in providing customers with the most comprehensive internal security solutions. For our partners, this means delivering an integrated best-of-breed solution to ensure your success. Thank you to all of our Sourcefire partners for your part in Sourcefire’s success to-date. It was your sophisticated understanding of what it really takes to protect your customer’s networks that led you to sell and install Sourcefire products. For those partners who contributed to our extremely successful 3rd quarter, thank you! We look forward to repeating that same success during the 4th quarter, and to continuing to work with you to provide these technologies and products as part of Check Point during 2006. The acquisition is subject to regulatory conditions and approvals and is expected to close by Q106. You can review the press release and FAQ documents at http://www.checkpoint.com/sourcefire. If you have any questions, I encourage you to contact your local channel manager. Sincerely, Wayne Jackson CEO Sourcefire, Inc.
