Pax8, Check Point Team Up for Cloud-Based Email Security

Distributor Pax8 this week announced a new global agreement with Check Point Software Technologies‘ email security group, formerly Avanan, to offer a security solution for cloud-based email and collaboration suites for MSPs.

Check Point’s patented API approach to email security blocks malicious and phishing emails before they reach the inbox. Embedded within the cloud suite, Check Point secures the entire suite from phishing, malware, data leakage and ransomware, specifically focusing on the most sophisticated attacks that others miss.

Check Point announced its acquisition of Avanan last August.

Check Point prevents attacks in all lines of business communication, such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Dropbox and more. With its MSP management portal solution, MSPs have a multitenancy view into their email environments, along with a monthly, usage-based billing system, no commitments and full automation.

Ryan Walsh is Pax8‘s chief operating officer.

“Emails are still the No. 1 attack vector for malware delivery, ahead of RDP scans and software exploits,” he said. “Check Point has developed a unique way for MSPs to protect their networks from harm caused by phishing. Their technology is a powerful addition to MSPs’ technology stacks because it is cloud-ready and well-integrated into environments that MSPs already use. It also provides an innovative way for their customers to manage email security.”
