It is gaining radio play, but there is no proof or citation if it is in fact the sixth single from her album. I believe this page should be deleted.

==Confirmed single?==
== Products ==
Check Point's products fall into the following main categories:
Is Rehab really a confirmed single? I haven't heard anything about its confirmation. I thought [[Breakin' Dishes]] was going to be the new single after [[Disturbia (song)|Disturbia]] --[[User:Legolas2186|Legolas2186]] ([[User talk:Legolas2186|talk]]) 08:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
* Network Security - this is Check Point's core business of products such as the VPN-1 software and UTM-1 appliances, as well as the Sofaware line of embedded firewall products.
:It's honestly unknown at this point. There is apparently a promotional email from Def Jam stating that "Rehab" will be the followup single, but as I noted on that [[Talk:Breakin' Dishes|talk page]], there's no concrete evidence stating that either song will become a single. I will say that I heard "Rehab" in a store, but I'm not sure if that counts. :P [[User:SKS2K6|SKS2K6]] ([[User talk:SKS2K6|talk]]) 15:52, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
* Data Security, which comprises of the software developed by Pointsec and Reflex Magnetics prior to being acquired by Check Point. These products are now being rolled into Check Point's single agent for Endpoint Security.
::Rehab goes for airplay adds next week. It is the only "official" single that the record label will be working. If any of my colleagues choose to put Breakin' Dishes on their radio stations, that is entirely their perogative and if enough of them choose to do so and the record charts on Mediabase, then I'm all for it having its own article. --[[User:Winger84|Winger84]] ([[User talk:Winger84|talk]]) 16:43, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
* Endpoint Security
* Security Management, which includes products such as Provider-1
