Check Point Software has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security.
The recognition is for its Harmony Email & Collaboration solution, which uses AI to block advanced threats.
Check Point cites its "one-click" API deployment for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace as a key differentiator.
The solution includes built-in, autonomous phishing simulation and security awareness training.
It is positioned as part of Check Point's broader Infinity Platform for integrated workspace security.
The company's research notes that 68% of attacks start with email, underscoring the critical need for robust protection.
This recognition comes in the context of email remaining the foremost vector for cyber attacks. Check Point's own research, citing that 68% of attacks originate via email, underscores the critical need for advanced, AI-driven defenses. The Harmony Email solution is designed to address this by scanning messages pre-delivery to identify and block harmful files, phishing attempts, and BEC attacks before they reach the end user's inbox, aiming to stop threats at the perimeter.
Check Point's positioning is bolstered by several stated differentiators. The company emphasizes its proven security leadership across a broader workspace protection suite, including endpoints and data loss prevention (DLP). A key technical feature is the seamless protection for collaboration suites via a patented API integration that secures not just email but also platforms like Teams, Slack, and cloud storage. Furthermore, the platform uniquely incorporates autonomous phishing simulation and training, allowing security teams to run contextual awareness campaigns without complex configuration.
The email security offering is not a standalone product but a critical component of the Check Point Infinity Platform. This integrated approach allows for centralized management and a unified security policy across networks, cloud, and workspace environments. Gil Friedrich, Chief Workspace Officer at Check Point Software, stated, “As email continues to power daily business operations, and remains the #1 attack vector, we are committed to delivering innovative, trustworthy, and easy-to-use protections that leverage the most advanced AI technologies to secure our customers.”
The Leader placement is supported by customer testimonials emphasizing operational security and ease of use. Marcos Alcantara, Cybersecurity Consultant at Telefonica, noted the solution provides “peace of mind to operate securely” by silently blocking advanced threats. This recognition in email security follows Check Point's recent positioning as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Hybrid Mesh Firewall, reinforcing its broader market strength.
For enterprises seeking to consolidate security vendors and simplify deployment, Check Point's offering presents a path to strengthen defenses against the most common attack vector while integrating with a larger, prevention-first security architecture. The recognition validates its strategy of combining dedicated email security with a platform-based approach to cyber defense.
