What is Check Point Email Security?

What is Check Point Email Security? Avanan is now Check Point Email Security, a cloud email security platform that pioneered and patented a new approach to prevent sophisticated attacks. The platform uses APIs to block phishing, malware, and data leakage in the line of communications traffic. This means we catch threats missed by Microsoft while adding a transparent layer of security for the entire suite that also protects other collaboration tools like Slack.

What differentiates Check Point Email Security from other similar products?

Avanan is an excellent product. Setup and installation takes no time and you start seeing benefits immediately. My favorite part of this product is the ability to easily mass delete phishing messages from users mailboxes. It is able to give you great insight to what unauthorized programs are being used on the network with the Shadow IT reporting category. The Data Loss Prevention section makes it easier to manage your sensitive data by blocking or encrypting email messages automatically. Avanan also gives you insight to login attempts in an easy to read dashboard. The added benefit of being able to scan OneDrive and SharePoint to search for malware makes this product a no brainer. Avanan blocks more phishing and spam than Office 365 by itself. If you use Office 365 and you want to enhance your security to take advantage of all the cloud opportunities this product is just the thing you need.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to remove phishing messages from users mailboxes easily.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I couldn't find anything I didn't like. It sounded like they are always improving and adding new features as well.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you have the money for it, it is a great product that is easy to integrate and use, so I wouldn't think twice about getting it.
