Check Point<br />

Firewall-1 was the first product to offer an innovative<br />

technology to defend computer networks from<br />

penetration. The product, based on the patented Stateful<br />

Inspection technology, can recognize infiltration attempts<br />

using advanced information analysis of communication<br />

traffic. Since its launch in 1993 this technology has been<br />

the foundation for protecting computer networks and<br />

defending millions of users all over the world.<br />

Waze<br />

Formulation of a theoretical model that enables a<br />

machine to mimic the activity of the human brain. The<br />

model revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence<br />

and enabled a machine to make decisions even<br />

when lacking all the data. The principles of the<br />

model are applied in a variety of fields, including<br />

the development of vaccines, voice recognition and<br />

automatic translation. In 2011, the researcher won<br />

the Turing Award, the most prestigious award in the<br />

field of computer science.<br />
