Check Point Software Technologies — 4 MA-L prefixes

A MAC address starting with 00:1C:7F, 00:A0:8E, 0C:52:7F, or 00:12:C1 belongs to Check Point Software Technologies, the Israeli-founded network-security vendor best known for firewall and VPN gateway hardware. These four IEEE MA-L (24-bit) blocks make up the full set of Check Point assignments found in the current registry snapshot.

IEEE's registry lists the company under two name variants — "Check Point Software Technologies" and "Check Point Software Technologies Ltd." — registered to two distinct addresses: 8333 Ridgepoint Dr., Irving, TX 75063, US for 00:A0:8E, and two Israeli addresses (5 Ha'solelim St., Tel Aviv and 3A Jabotinsky St., Ramat Gan) for the remaining three. This split reflects Check Point's dual US/Israel corporate footprint.

Check Point (NASDAQ: CHKP) is a publicly traded cybersecurity company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, best known for its FireWall-1/VPN-1 stateful-inspection firewalls and its current Quantum Force security-gateway appliance line, plus hardware inherited from its 2009 acquisition of Nokia's security appliance business. Devices carrying these OUIs are consistent with enterprise firewall, VPN, and UTM appliance network interfaces rather than consumer hardware.

All four prefixes are confirmed directly against the canonical IEEE MA-L registry: 00:1C:7F to "Check Point Software Technologies", 3A Jabotinsky St., Ramat Gan, IL; 00:A0:8E to "Check Point Software Technologies", 8333 Ridgepoint Dr., Irving, TX, US; 0C:52:7F to "Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.", 5 Ha'solelim St., Tel Aviv, IL; 00:12:C1 to "Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.", 5 Ha'solelim St., Tel Aviv, IL. A secondary web-research pass (maclookup.app and api.macvendors.com) independently corroborates two of the four (00:1C:7F and 00:A0:8E); that corroboration is additional confirmation only, not a prerequisite — the registry entry alone settles all four. As with all IEEE MA-L data, no registration date is published by IEEE itself — a third-party aggregator listed 2007-05-13 and 1998-04-22 for two of the prefixes, but these are database artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are not recorded as authoritative dates here.

Analyst note

Multiple independent OUI blocks plus a clear, well-documented enterprise-security product line establish substance beyond a bare IEEE registration; all four prefixes are registry-confirmed.
