Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for Education

“Web Application Attacks accounted for roughly one-quarter of breaches in the Education vertical,” which are mostly due to the “frequent compromise

of cloud-based mail services via phishing links to phony login pages.” — 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report

Secure Your Domain

Hacking a domain with a strong reputation makes malicious actors happy. It helps them more easily launch future attacks. This makes Universities and other educational institutions high-value targets.

The Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration platform currently protects faculty, student and alumni populations at some of the largest university systems as well as local school districts.

Full-Suite Protection Manage data leakage, malware, and account takeover via a single threat intelligence interface. Robust protections extend to file-sharing and chat.

Patented technology built specifically for the cloud Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration connects to your environment via API and scans for threats after your existing security—but before the inbox. It is laser-focused on advanced attacks while also filtering out spam and greymail.

“We really needed a better solution that could be preemptive and proactive to phishing and malware attacks, versus us going in on the backend

trying to clean up after the fact.”

— Chad Marlow, Director of Operational Technology – Bethel School District
