Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. announced that Check Point Abra has won the prestigious “IT Product of 2010″ award in the security solutions category from Computerworld magazine in Czech Republic.

Recognized for its innovation in changing the way mobile users work, Check Point Abra instantly turns any PC into a corporate desktop by allowing users to securely access corporate files and applications anytime, anywhere.

“Businesses have seen a significant growth of their mobile workforce and are under more pressure to reduce costs, operate efficiently and secure their data on-the-go,” said Juliette Sultan, head of global marketing at Check Point Software Technologies. “Abra is the new, simple and affordable solution to their increased mobility needs. We are proud to see that only a few months after its introduction on the market, the product is receiving a tremendous amount of recognition from both customers and industry experts.”

Check Point Abra gathered remarkable interest from the Computerworld judging panel with its convenient “plug-and-play” USB form factor that provides remote users with instant and secure access to corporate e-mails, files and applications through integrated VPN connectivity. Hardware and software encryption protect the data stored and transiting on the device, while its virtualization technology isolates the Abra work session, ensuring sensitive data remains on the device and leaves no traces on the host PC. In addition, Abra’s Program Control regulates the types of applications installed and accessed by users to protect the corporate network from malware associated with unauthorized applications.
