Yes - I had the impression that most problems were not with banned selling
but banned/reluctant BUYING in certain Arabian states. Probably see buying
CP as supporting Israeli occupation of parts of Jordan, Syria etc. Plus
they are unsure whether CP/governments have created 'backdoors' for
surveillance - seems a little paranoid here but who knows.....

Ok then, I believe you.

There appears to be some/strong opposition to using Checkpoint in the UAE
given it's country of origin, and if I was a pitching solution for sale
there I would include different options with the likes of Gauntlet etc

The impression I gained was that not many companies in the UAE would
consider using Checkpoint - maybe they might even be upset if you offered
it as a solution?

Darrin,
There are no regulations concerning export to the United Arab Emirates,
except for such organizations explicitly banned by the U.S. Treasury
department, or the Commerce Department.
 The 'evil 9' designation, includes:
1.Cuba
2.Iraq
3.Libya
4.Taliban controlled Afghanistan
5.North Korea
6.Iran
7.Syria
8.Serbia
9.Sudan
Cheers,

Allan,
There are currently only 9 countries in which firewall-1 cannot be sold. I
have had knowledge of many arab organizations purchasing firewall-1, with
no concern for the writers race.  Lets face it, Israel and US go pretty
much hand-in-hand as far as Anti-Semitic arabs are concerned.
Do not recommend to Libya, syria, lebanon, iraq, afganistan, iran, cuba.
Cheers,
CryptoTech

Hi,
Since Firewall-1 is made by an Israeli company, does anyone have
experience recommending its use in Arab countries and for Arab clients?
The reason I ask is that I will be on a security architecture project for
an Arab bank based in the middle east.
Should I refrain from recommending Firewall-1??
Thanks!
