“The second quarter delivered robust profitability with over 22 percent growth in EPS. Our platform security strategy realized continued success, as Infinity revenues surpassed 10 percent of total revenues for the quarter,” said Gil Shwed, Founder and CEO of Check Point Software. “This was further emphasized by a 14 percent increase in security subscription revenues that encompasses our advanced security solutions such as ThreatCloud AI, CloudGuard, and Harmony E-mail. This mitigated some of the impact from customers delaying network security refresh projects. As we move forward, our priority remains driving revenue growth by delivering a prevention-first approach, with a focus on collaborative cyber security where multiple products work in concert to protect against the most sophisticated threats.”
