Supports phishing prevention across collaboration tools
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
In the past, when a user copied a file into SharePoint that had malware and shared this file with other users, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against this problem.
In our organization, we rely heavily on Microsoft Teams and SharePoint for cross-department projects, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects internal file sharing and collaboration across multiple departments by automatically scanning shared files and links before they are accessed by colleagues, preventing malware from spreading internally if someone unknowingly uploads a compromised document.
The best feature that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers for me is the zero-day threat prevention because it uses sandboxing, and I am driving analysis to catch unknown threats that traditional email and email security means miss.
Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been a game changer for our team because sandboxing and zero-day prevention have helped us, and one specific example is a targeted phishing campaign where attackers tried to deliver malicious Excel files with embedded macros; traditionally, those types of files might slip past basic email filters, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration sandboxing detonated the file in a virtual environment, detected the malicious behavior, and blocked it before it reached the user's inbox.

AI-driven protection has reduced phishing incidents and prevented advanced threats across collaboration tools
What is our primary use case?

I can provide a specific example of how I've used Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to protect Microsoft 365 from phishing threats. The sales teams received a phishing email impersonating our boss in the sales department, asking them to approve different transfers. The message looked convincing, using internal branding and a spoofed domain that closely resembled our own, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration tagged the message immediately using AI-based intent analysis and domain spoofing detection, quarantining the email before it reached the user's inbox and sending an alarm to the support team.
