Guardz, the cybersecurity platform reshaping how managed service providers (MSPs) safeguard small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), announced a strategic technology partnership with Check Point to embed Check Point Harmony Email directly within the Guardz platform.
This collaboration enhances Guardz’s AI-native, unified cybersecurity framework by integrating Check Point’s patented inline, API-based email protection engine. As a result, MSPs gain access to what the companies describe as the industry’s most advanced email security solution one that improves operational efficiency and strengthens defence across multiple attack vectors.
E-mail remains the opening door to SMBs for cyber-attacks. During the first quarter of 2025, more than one million unique phishing attacks were monitored; QR-code scams and brand spoofing are on the rise. Meanwhile, 72% of organizations reported a surge in cyber risk, while 42% experienced phishing or social engineering incidents in the past year.
As attackers use AI to evolve faster than traditional defences, MSPs are under increasing pressure to deliver smarter, AI-driven protection that identifies and neutralises threats before they ever make it into the inbox. This is a challenge Guardz and Check Point are taking very seriously.
Beginning immediately, MSP partners accessing the Guardz unified platform can opt-in to leverage Check Point Harmony Email provisioned, deployed and managed entirely through the Guardz interface. The integration is designed to improve security against phishing, ransomware, business-email-compromise (BEC), and advanced threats that often bypass the likes of Microsoft and Google, with a 99.7% phishing-block rate.

“Our partnership with Check Point represents more than just an integration. It’s a major step toward creating a truly resilient cybersecurity ecosystem for MSPs and their customers, who form the backbone of global economies,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and Co-Founder of Guardz. “By combining Check Point’s proven AI-powered email security with our unified platform, we’re not only preventing email threats before they hit the inbox, but we’re connecting the dots across the entire security stack, enabling a safer digital future.”
This partnership shows Guardz’s dedication to using top technologies. It helps MSPs and boosts the SMB customers they support.
The synergy of Check Point’s proven threat-prevention capabilities with Guardz’s unified, AI-native security architecture including 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR enables MSPs to deliver more resilient protection across identities, endpoints, email, security awareness training (SAT) and more, than ever before.
“This collaboration goes beyond adding another layer of protection; it’s about aligning two AI-driven solutions to create smarter, more predictive defense for small businesses,” said David Meister, Global Head of MSP at Check Point. “It’s not just about visibility. It’s about advancing the future of unified detection and response across identities, emails, devices, and data. By combining Guardz‘s unified platform with Check Point’s threat intelligence and API-based prevention, we’re enabling real-time knowledge sharing that empowers service providers to stay ahead of attackers.”
