Avanan (Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration)
The Best Security for Cloud Email and Collaboration.
Overview
Avanan, now part of Check Point's Harmony suite, provides an innovative API-based approach to email security. It deploys after the default security of cloud suites like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, acting as an additional, smarter layer of security. It uses AI to detect and block sophisticated phishing, malware, and account takeover attacks that other solutions miss.
✨ Key Features
- Inline email security via API
- AI-based anti-phishing
- Zero-day malware protection
- Account Takeover (ATO) Prevention
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
- URL click-time protection
- Collaboration security (Teams, Slack, etc.)
🎯 Key Differentiators
- API-based, inline deployment that scans emails after default filters.
- Protection for collaboration tools beyond email.
- AI models trained on the entire cloud suite, not just email.
Unique Value: Provides a critical layer of security inside the cloud suite that catches the sophisticated threats missed by both default security and traditional gateways.
