Check Point
Official Partner of Constant Edge
Stop phishing, BEC, ransomware, and account takeover before delivery with Check Point Email Security. API-based protection for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and the collaboration apps your team already uses.
WHO ARE CHECK POINT
Inventors of API email security.
Check Point Email Security started life as Avanan, the company that pioneered API-based email security and holds the patent for its inline deployment method via API. Check Point acquired it, plugged it into ThreatCloud AI, and put more than 200 threat researchers behind it.
The result is email security that deploys in minutes with no MX record changes, then scans every inbound, outbound, and internal message before it reaches the inbox. Constant Edge partners with Check Point because it gives you enterprise-grade prevention and full collaboration app coverage in a single platform, not a bolt-on.
HOW DOES CHECK POINT WORK
Inline protection. No gateway required.
Check Point connects to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant through a one-click API integration. It then sits inline after your existing mail gateway and before inbox delivery, so malicious mail is blocked rather than clawed back after the fact. AI, natural language processing, and sandboxing assess every message, link, and attachment in real time.
- API-based deployment with no MX record or DNS changes
- Inline blocking before delivery, not post-delivery remediation
- Every link scanned at both domain and individual page level
WHY SHOULD I USE CHECK POINT
Catch what your gateway misses
Additional secure email gateways filter at the perimeter and miss the targeted attacks that matter: BEC, supplier impersonation, QR code phishing, and account takeover. Check Point analyzes sender behavior, message content, and supply chain relationships to spot the anomalies a signature-based gateway never sees. It reduces the volume of phishing reaching inboxes by 99.2%
- Behavioral AI catches BEC and impersonation attacks
- QR code (quishing) attack prevention built in
- Highest independently validated malware catch rate in the industry at 99.91%
- Suspicious mailbox activity detection for account takeover

BENEFITS OF CHECK POINT EMAIL SECURITY
One platform. Your whole workspace.

- Collaboration app protection for Teams, Slack, SharePoint, and OneDrive
- Data loss prevention keeps sensitive data from leaving the organization
- DMARC record management and email archiving available
- Part of the Check Point Infinity Platform for single-console consolidation

HOW WE DEPLOY IT
Simple by default. Planned when complex.
For most customers, setup is straightforward: an administrator authorizes the connection, we configure the policy for your environment, and Check Point starts protecting mailboxes immediately. We provide additional planning for collaboration app coverage, DLP policy and multi-tenant environments.
-
STEP 1
Connect securely
An authorized Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administrator connects the environment through the API. No MX record changes, no mail routing changes and no software to install.
-
STEP 2
Set the policy
We select the mailboxes and groups to protect, configure enforcement behavior and enable the collaboration apps in scope. We review the settings and advise on anything that needs additional attention.
-
AUTOMATIC
Protection begins
Check Point starts scanning immediately, including a retrospective scan of mail already in the environment. We review initial detections with you and tune enforcement before moving from monitoring into full prevention.
-
COMPLEX DEPLOYMENTS
DLP policy and multi-tenant environments
Complete Protect adds outbound data loss prevention and encryption, which needs policy decisions about what leaves the organization and what gets encrypted rather than blocked. Multi-tenant environments need those decisions made once and applied consistently. In these cases most of the additional work is agreeing the policy rather than configuring the service.
Most deployments are live the same day. DLP rollouts and multi-tenant environments take longer to plan and verify.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does deployment take?
Under a day in most cases. Check Point Harmony connects to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace through the API, so there are no MX record changes and no mail flow rules to unpick. We connect it, configure the policy for your environment, and hand back a working setup.
Can we trial before we commit?
Yes. We deploy in monitor-only mode first, so Check Point sits alongside your existing setup and shows you what it would have caught without touching live mail. You see real findings from your own tenant before you decide, and if it isn’t picking up anything your current stack is missing, we’ll tell you.
What’s the pricing model?
Per user, per year, billed annually in advance. The price depends on user count and which modules you need, so email only, or email plus Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. We’ll quote your actual environment rather than a list price, and there are no separate deployment or onboarding fees.
Do prices go up at renewal?
Not by default. Your rate is fixed for the term, and we send you a renewal summary ahead of the anniversary so you can see the numbers before anything is invoiced. If vendor costs move, we’ll tell you early and explain why rather than quietly rolling an increase into the renewal.
Does it work with M365 Business Standard, or do we need E3?
Business Standard is fine. Check Point works through the Microsoft 365 API and doesn’t depend on your licence tier or on having Defender for Office 365, so there’s no need to upgrade to E3 or E5 to run it. That’s often the point: it gives you the protection without the licence step up.
How does it compare to Microsoft Defender for Office 365?
Defender is a solid first layer and Check Point is designed to sit behind it, not replace it. Because it inspects mail inside the mailbox after Microsoft has processed it, it catches the things that get through: convincing BEC attempts with no attachment or link, supplier account takeover, and internal email between compromised accounts, which perimeter filtering never sees. If you’re already paying for Defender, keep it. This is the layer that handles what it misses.
