Cybersecurity platform Guardz announced a strategic technology partnership with Check Point Software through which Check Point will embed its Harmony Email solution directly into the Guardz platform. The collaboration is designed to enhance Guardz’s AI-native, unified platform with Check Point’s patented, inline API-based email protection engine to bolster the operational efficiency of MSPs and their SMB customers, the company said.
The partnership comes while email remains a primary target for cyber attackers. “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,” officials said.
The Guardz-Check Point collaboration is intended to address this challenge by improving security in the face of phishing, ransomware, BEC and other highly targeted threats, with a 99.7 percent block rate for phishing attempts. Via the Guardz unified platform, MSP partners can opt-in for access to Check Point Harmony Email—provisioned, deployed and managed through the Guardz interface.
“Our partnership with Check Point represents more than just an integration. It’s a major step toward creating a truly resilient cybersecurity ecosystem for MSPs and their customers, who form the backbone of global economies,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and co-founder of Guardz. “By combining Check Point’s proven AI-powered email security with our unified platform, we’re not only preventing email threats before they hit the inbox, we’re connecting the dots across the entire security stack, enabling a safer digital future.”
The collaboration enables MSPs to deliver more resilient protection to SMB customers across identities, endpoints, email, SAT and more, officials said.
“This collaboration goes beyond adding another layer of protection; it’s about aligning two AI-driven solutions to create smarter, more predictive defense for small businesses,” said David Meister, global head of MSP at Check Point. “It’s not just about visibility. It’s about advancing the future of unified detection and response across identities, emails, devices and data. By combining Guardz’s unified platform with Check Point’s threat intelligence and API-based prevention, we’re enabling real-time knowledge sharing that empowers service providers to stay ahead of attackers.”
