Why is Check Point Software stock sliding today?

Check Point Software Technologies (CHKP) is down 4.7% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The most likely driver appears to be lingering investor caution rather than a single fresh headline. With no major new company filing or earnings release posted today, the drop could reflect continued concern about the company’s recently disclosed VPN vulnerability and the weaker product-demand trends that surfaced in its last quarterly report.
