Guardz and Check Point Join Forces to Elevate Email Security for MSPs with Unified Detection and Response

Guardz, the cybersecurity company transforming how Managed Service Providers (MSPs) safeguard small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has announced a strategic technology alliance with Check Point Software Technologies. The partnership integrates Check Point’s Harmony Email protection directly into the Guardz unified cybersecurity platform, delivering an AI-driven, all-in-one solution that enhances operational efficiency and email threat prevention for MSPs.

Through this integration, Guardz strengthens its AI-native defense capabilities with Check Point’s patented, inline API-based protection engine. The result is a comprehensive approach to threat detection and response that helps MSPs eliminate email-based risks, streamline operations, and deliver advanced protection across attack surfaces.

Tackling the Front Line of Cyber Threats

Email continues to be the most common entry point for cyberattacks targeting SMBs. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, over one million phishing attempts were detected globally, with QR-code scams and brand impersonation attacks becoming increasingly frequent. Industry data reveals that 72% of organizations saw heightened cyber risk, and 42% reported phishing or social engineering incidents within the past year.

As cybercriminals weaponize AI to create more deceptive and adaptive attack campaigns, traditional defenses often struggle to keep up. This escalating threat landscape has intensified the pressure on MSPs to deliver smarter, AI-powered defenses capable of identifying and blocking attacks before they reach users’ inboxes.

Unified Protection through a Single Platfor

The Guardz–Check Point collaboration directly addresses this challenge. Starting today, MSPs using the Guardz unified platform can seamlessly activate Check Point Harmony Email from within the Guardz console. The integration provides end-to-end provisioning, deployment, and management, offering a frictionless experience that strengthens email defenses against phishing, ransomware, business email compromise (BEC), and other targeted threats.

With a 99.7% phishing block rate, Harmony Email ensures that attacks bypassing standard filters from Microsoft or Google are intercepted before causing harm.

“Our partnership with Check Point is more than a simple integration—it’s a pivotal step toward building a resilient cybersecurity ecosystem for MSPs and their customers,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and Co-Founder of Guardz. “By uniting Check Point’s AI-powered email security with the Guardz platform, we’re proactively eliminating threats before they reach the inbox while connecting every layer of security to deliver a safer digital environment.”

Simplifying Cybersecurity for MSPs

This partnership reinforces Guardz’s mission to empower MSPs through simplified, consolidated cybersecurity. Many service providers face growing complexity from managing multiple tools and vendors. By merging industry-leading technologies into a unified platform, Guardz allows MSPs to deliver consistent, comprehensive protection while reducing operational overhead.

Combining Check Point’s proven threat prevention with Guardz’s AI-native unified security framework—which includes 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR)—gives MSPs the ability to defend SMBs more effectively across endpoints, identities, email, security awareness training (SAT), and more.

“This collaboration is not just about adding another security layer—it’s about redefining how AI-driven solutions work together,” said David Meister, Global Head of MSP at Check Point. “By integrating Guardz’s unified platform with Check Point’s threat intelligence and API-based prevention, we’re delivering smarter, predictive defenses that enhance visibility and response across emails, identities, devices, and data.”
