Harmony Email & Collaboration

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration delivers API-based email and SaaS application security for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace environments. Unlike traditional Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) that require MX record changes and complex mail flow configurations, Harmony Email connects directly via API—deploying in minutes without disrupting mail delivery or requiring end-user changes.

The platform addresses the full spectrum of email-borne threats with AI-powered detection engines trained on billions of daily threat indicators from Check Points ThreatCloud intelligence network. Anti-phishing capabilities analyze sender behavior, email patterns, and content to detect sophisticated attacks including business email compromise (BEC), impersonation, and credential harvesting attempts that bypass traditional signature-based detection.

For unknown threats, Harmony Email employs Threat Emulation sandboxing and URL emulation that detonate suspicious files and links in isolated environments before they reach user inboxes. Content Disarm & Reconstruction (CDR) removes potentially malicious active content from documents while preserving usability, ensuring users receive clean files without delays.

Account takeover prevention monitors login patterns, impossible travel scenarios, and suspicious email activity to detect compromised accounts—a critical capability as attackers increasingly target credentials rather than perimeters. When compromise is detected, automatic remediation can quarantine malicious emails sent from the compromised account.

Organizations requiring data protection can deploy Complete plans which add Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities. Built-in policies detect sensitive data types including PII, PCI card data, PHI health information, and hundreds of other patterns across email content and attachments. Custom policies allow organizations to protect proprietary data and enforce industry-specific compliance requirements including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR.

For organizations using collaboration tools beyond email, Email & Apps plans extend the same protection to OneDrive, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Slack, Box, and Dropbox. This ensures consistent security policies across all channels where employees share files and communicate—critical as threat actors increasingly target collaboration platforms.

The unified Infinity Portal dashboard provides centralized visibility across all protected applications with real-time threat analytics, investigation tools, and automated response playbooks. Security teams can trace attack chains across email and collaboration apps, understand threat patterns, and respond to incidents from a single console.
