Avanan (a Check Point company)
The SmartCloud Email and Collaboration Security Platform.
Overview
Avanan, now part of Check Point, provides a unique, API-based approach to email and collaboration security. It connects directly to cloud applications like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, allowing it to scan for threats after the default security layers but before the inbox. This 'inline' protection model enables it to catch sophisticated phishing, malware, and data leakage threats that other solutions might miss. It extends its protection beyond email to other collaboration tools like Teams, Slack, and OneDrive.
