Advanced email threat protection with AI-driven features and geographical security
They have a sandboxing feature and are developing advanced threat protection technologies. Check Point Harmony also provides in-line API-based security, which is fast and reliable. Its API services should be available within our geography, India. This ensures that I can restrict emails from outside India, helping prevent geography-based phishing attacks. Additionally, Check Point is building AI capabilities for behavioral threat detection.
