AI-driven protection has reduced phishing incidents and prevented advanced threats across collaboration tools
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is protecting cloud-based email and collaboration platforms, primarily Microsoft 365, from malware, phishing, and account takeover attempts.
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.
