Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cyber security solutions globally, has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Email Security, Q2 2023 report. In its inaugural debut in the Forrester Wave, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration secured a position as a leader.
Business Email Compromise (BEC) schemes are rising in prevalence and damage. According to the FBI, BEC scams have cost organizations around the world over US$43 billion. Further, BEC 3.0 scams, which leverage legitimate services, are rising in popularity, requiring a more effective approach to email security. With organizations facing an average of 1,248 cyber-attacks per week, it is crucial for companies to deploy artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cyber security solutions to prevent increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks. The Forrester Wave report states that since Check Point acquired CAPES vendor Avanan in 2021, it has “focused on integrating email security into its platform, leveraging its native ThreatCloud threat intelligence capabilities to deliver Phishing360 protection across endpoints, browsers, and SaaS applications” providing companies with a comprehensive email security suite.
We believe Check Point’s position as a leader in the Forrester Wave is attributed to its capabilities, strategy, and customer feedback. The report notes that Check Point is currently the sole enterprise email security vendor offering an in-line CAPES (Cloud-native, API-enabled Email Security) deployment option that works with both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Check Point is also noted as one of the only vendors providing full protection for communication and collaboration applications like Teams, SharePoint, Slack, and Dropbox.
