What You Should Know

Check Point Software Technologies is an Israeli cybersecurity company providing network security (next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention, secure SD-WAN), cloud security (CloudGuard), endpoint and mobile security (Harmony), and security operations (Horizon XDR/SOAR). The company is one of the original network-security firewall vendors and remains a major player in the enterprise firewall and unified-threat-management category alongside Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Cisco. Cybersecurity software is unambiguously permissible at the activity level. Check Point operates a near-debt-free balance sheet with substantial cash reserves and generates strong free cash flow; it is one of the cleanest financial-screen passes in the cybersecurity peer group. The company does not pay a meaningful dividend, so the practical purification impact is small. The qualitative screen passes cleanly at all major Sharia advisory boards.
