Avanan (Check Point)
The SmartCloud Email and Collaboration Security.
Overview
Avanan, which is now part of Check Point, is a cloud-native security platform that protects the full suite of cloud collaboration applications, including email, file sharing, and messaging. It uses an API-based approach to deploy inside the cloud environment, allowing it to scan for threats after the default security but before the inbox (inline). This provides a comprehensive layer of security against phishing, malware, and data leakage.
✨ Key Features
- Inline API-based deployment
- Phishing and Malware Protection
- Business Email Compromise (BEC) Prevention
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
- Account Takeover Protection
- Security for Teams, Slack, Dropbox, etc.
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Patented inline API deployment for pre-inbox prevention.
- Comprehensive security for the entire collaboration suite, not just email.
- Leverages Check Point's industry-leading threat intelligence.
Unique Value: Provides the highest level of security for cloud collaboration suites by scanning everything after the default security but before it reaches the user.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Providing a security layer that sees and blocks threats that native and gateway solutions miss.

💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Organizations that require a traditional MX-record-based secure email gateway.
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike other API solutions that are limited to post-delivery remediation ('detect and respond'), Avanan's inline approach allows it to prevent threats from ever reaching the inbox.
