Guardz announced a new strategic technology partnership with Check Point to embed Harmony Email directly into the Guardz platform. The collaboration enhances Guardz's AI-native, unified cybersecurity platform with Check Point's patented, inline API-based email protection engine, arming MSPs with the industry's most advanced email security solutions to improve operational efficiency. Together, Guardz and Check Point are raising the bar for email security by connecting the dots across attack vectors and redefining what MSPs can expect from a truly integrated and unmatched cybersecurity platform.
Email remains the front line for cyber-attackers targeting SMBs. Over a million distinct phishing attacks were recorded in First Quarter 2025 alone, with QR-code scams and brand-spoofing on the rise. Meanwhile, 72% of organizations reported increased cyber risk, and 42% experienced phishing or social-engineering incidents in the past year.
As attackers leveraging AI evolve their methods faster than traditional defenses can adapt, MSPs are under growing pressure to provide smarter, AI-driven protection that identifies and neutralizes threats before they reach the inbox or do any damage. The Guardz-Check Point partnership addresses this challenge head-on. Starting today, through the Guardz unified platform, MSP partners can opt-in for access to Check Point Harmony Email- provisioned, deployed, and managed entirely through the Guardz interface.
The integration improves security in the face of phishing, ransomware, BEC, and highly-targeted threats that often slip past the likes of Microsoft and Google, with a 99.7% block rate for phishing attempts. This collaboration reinforces Guardz's commitment to integrating best-in-class technologies that strengthen MSPs and the businesses they serve. With the growing challenges MSPs face in managing vendor sprawl and workflow overload, the consolidation of technologies into a single platform allows MSPs to effectively execute on a security offering.
The combination of Check Point's proven threat prevention capabilities and Guardz's unified, AI-native security framework - including 24/7 MDR - empowers MSPs to deliver more resilient protection to their SMB customers than ever before, across identities, endpoints, email, SAT, and more.
