While most of the content on CheckMates is in English, we now have a few groups where both content and discussions are available in other languages!
We brought CheckMates Members and Contributors of the Year winners to our headquarters in Tel Aviv to collaborate, meet with Check Point R&D, and of course show them the beautiful county of Israel!
It was a pleasure to host you Heiko Ankenbrand, Timothy Hall, Vladimir Yakovlev, and Danny Jung!
And yes, this included a meeting with Gil and Dorit, who autographed a couple of items for Danny and Heiko!
Heiko Ankenbrand even made a little video about the experience: Thanks for Checkmates Winners Event
