Check Point Expands SandBlast Zero-Day Protection to Microsoft Office 365 Cloud Email
May 2016 by Coline Magne
Check Point has announced SandBlast Cloud to protect organizations using Microsoft Office 365 from known and unknown malware contained in email attachments. SandBlast Cloud safeguards Office 365 email customers from sophisticated threats such as ransomware and APTs, allowing organizations to move to cloud email infrastructure with confidence.
SandBlast Cloud includes Check Point’s unique CPU-level detection and Threat Extraction capabilities, proactively preventing attacks from reaching users. According to the 2016 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, email attachments are the most common method for crimeware delivery, with users opening on about 12% of malicious attachments they received. The median time to first click these attachments was only 3 minutes 45 seconds from initial receipt of the email, highlighting that preventing malicious files from ever reaching users is critical to avoiding infection.
SandBlast Cloud provides Office 365 users with multi-layered defenses to protect from both known and unknown threats. Antivirus and URL reputation protection secures users against known threats, while Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction prevent unknown malware and zero-day threats from reaching users.
Key features of SandBlast Cloud include:
– Seamless integration with Microsoft Office 365, managed as simple cloud solution that is easy to implement.
– Highest malware catch rate in the industry, utilizing patented CPU-level inspection technology.
– The delivery of safe, reconstructed versions of common document formats in seconds, and full access to original files in minutes once full analysis is complete.
