We are sending you this Proxy Statement because you hold Check Point ordinary shares. Our board of directors is asking that you sign and send in your proxy card, attached to this Proxy Statement, in order to vote at the meeting or at any adjournment of the meeting.

Agenda Items

The following matters are on the agenda for the meeting:

  1. To elect six directors - the terms of six of our current directors will expire at the meeting, and we are proposing to reelect these six directors;

  2. To ratify the appointment and compensation of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent public accountants for 2007- Israeli law requires that we ask you, on an annual basis, to approve our auditors; when this proposal is raised, you will also be invited to discuss our 2006 consolidated financial statements; and

  3. To approve compensation to certain executive officers who are also members of our board of directors.

You can vote your shares by attending the meeting or by completing and signing a proxy card. Attached is the proxy card for the meeting that is being solicited by our board of directors. Please follow the instructions on the proxy card. You may change your mind and cancel your proxy card by sending us written notice, by signing and returning a proxy card with a later date, or by voting in person or by proxy at the meeting. We will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it at our principal executive offices at the above address, or our registrar and transfer agent receives it in the enclosed envelope, by September 4, 2007 at 6:59 A.M. Israel time, which is September 3, 2007 at 11:59 P.M. Eastern daylight time. If you sign and return the enclosed proxy card, your shares will be voted in favor of all of the proposed resolutions, whether or not you specifically indicate a "FOR" vote, unless you abstain or vote against a specific resolution. In addition, by signing and returning the proxy card you are confirming that you do not have a personal interest in any proposed resolution, unless you specifically note a "personal interest" with respect to a specific resolution.

Who Can Vote

You are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting if you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on July 27, 2007. You are also entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting if you held our ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee which was one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on July 27, 2007, or which appeared in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date. We are mailing copies of this Proxy Statement and the proxy cards to our shareholders on or about August 6, 2007, and we will solicit proxies primarily by mail and email. The original solicitation of proxies by mail and email may be further supplemented by solicitation by telephone, mail, email and other means by certain of our officers, directors and employees, but they will not receive additional compensation for these services. We will bear the cost of external solicitors and of the solicitation of the proxy cards, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of our ordinary shares.

Quorum and Required Vote

On July 27, 2007, we had outstanding 222,656,049 ordinary shares. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the meeting. Under our Articles of Association, the meeting will be properly convened if at least two shareholders attend the meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold shares representing more than 50% of our voting power. This is known as a quorum. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the meeting, the meeting will be adjourned for one week (to the same day, time and place), or to a day, time and place proposed by the chairman of our board of directors with the consent of the majority of the voting power represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the adjournment. Any two shareholders who attend an adjourned meeting in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum, regardless of the number of shares they hold or represent. Under Israeli law, broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted toward the required quorum, but will then have no effect on whether the requisite vote is achieved.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" all proposals under Items 1 through 3 below.

ITEM 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (OTHER THAN OUTSIDE DIRECTORS)

You are being asked to reelect the following directors: Gil Shwed, Marius Nacht, Jerry Ungerman, Dan Propper, David Rubner and Dr. Tal Shavit.

Under our Articles of Association, the maximum number of our directors is fixed at twelve. We currently have ten directors. Four of these directors, Yoav Chelouche, Irwin Federman, Guy Gecht and Ray Rothrock, are our "outside directors" as required by the Israeli Companies Law. The term of office of Messrs. Federman and Rothrock expires in 2008 and the term of office of Messrs. Chelouche and Gecht expires in 2009. Therefore they are not required to stand for reelection at the meeting. You are being asked to reelect all of our current directors that are not outside directors. If all of our board of directors' nominees are elected, the foregoing six directors will continue to serve as directors following the meeting in addition to the outside directors.

Nominees for Director

Our board of directors' Nominating Committee, which consists of Irwin Federman, Ray Rothrock, David Rubner and Dr. Tal Shavit, recommended that the following six nominees be reelected to our board of directors at the meeting. Our board of directors approved this recommendation. Each director who is elected at the meeting will serve until next year's annual meeting of our shareholders.

Gil Shwed, one of our founders, is the Chairman of our board of directors, a position he has held since 1998. He is also our Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors, both positions he has held since we were incorporated in 1993. Mr. Shwed also served as our President from our incorporation until 2001. Mr. Shwed has received numerous prestigious accolades for his individual achievements and industry contributions, including an honorary Doctor of Science from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.

Marius Nacht, one of our founders, has served as Vice Chairman of our board of directors since 2001 and has also been our Senior Vice President since 1999. Mr. Nacht has served as one of our directors since we were incorporated in 1993.

Jerry Ungerman was appointed Vice Chairman of our board of directors in 2005, and he is responsible for leading our partner and customer relations.

Dan Propper has served on our board of directors since 2006. Mr. Propper is the Chairman of the Board of the Osem Group, a leading Israeli manufacturer of food products.

David Rubner has served on our board of directors since 1999. Mr. Rubner is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Rubner Technology Ventures Ltd.

You are being asked to reelect the individuals named above as directors, unless you specifically specify to the contrary. We do not know of any reason that any of the individuals proposed for election as directors would not be able to serve.

ITEM 2 - PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT AND COMPENSATION OF OUR INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Our board of directors has appointed Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, an Israeli accounting firm that is a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent public accountants for 2007.

Representatives of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer will attend the meeting and will be invited to make a statement. They will be available to respond to appropriate questions raised during the meeting.

We are proposing to adopt the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as Check Point's independent public accountants for 2007 be, and it hereby is, ratified, and the board of directors (or, the audit committee, if authorized by the board of directors) be, and it hereby is, authorized to fix the remuneration of such independent public accountants in accordance with the volume and nature of their services."

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on this proposal in person or by proxy is necessary to approve the resolution to ratify the appointment and compensation of our independent public accountants.

ITEM 3 - PROPOSAL TO APPROVE COMPENSATION TO CERTAIN OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS WHO ARE ALSO BOARD MEMBERS

The Israeli Companies Law provides that the compensation of our directors, whether as directors, officers or consultants, requires shareholder approval. This includes cash compensation as well as compensation in the form of stock options. Gil Shwed, Marius Nacht and Jerry Ungerman, who are directors of Check Point, are also officers of Check Point. Therefore, their compensation requires shareholder approval.

The total direct compensation that we accrued for our directors and executive officers as a group for the year ended December 31,2006 was approximately $2.8 million.

Our compensation committee, audit committee, board of directors and shareholders have previously approved this compensation.

We are proposing to adopt the following resolutions:

"RESOLVED, that the grant to Gil Shwed of options to purchase 2 million ordinary shares at an exercise price equal to 100% of the closing price of the ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of the meeting and upon the terms recommended by Check Point's compensation committee and approved by Check Point's audit committee and board of directors be, and it hereby is, approved."

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on this proposal in person or by proxy is necessary for the approval of the resolutions to approve our executive officers' compensation.

By Order of the Board of Directors.

GIL SHWED
Chairman of the Board of Directors
Dated: August 6, 2007
