Guardz Email Security

Intercept phishing, malicious attachments and misleading links before anyone clicks. With Check Point email security (formerly Avanan), for Microsoft 365.

What is Guardz email security?

Guardz uses Check Point’s email security, which was formerly called Avanan. Guardz and Check Point have worked together as technology partners since 2025. The security checks all incoming and outgoing mail for phishing, malicious attachments and misleading links. Links are rewritten and tested before anyone opens them, so one click is not an instant disaster.

Email security is one part of the Guardz platform. A suspicious email is linked to what happens on the workstation and in the account, so you see the full attack path.

What it delivers

  • Phishing intercepted: including fake invoices and CEO fraud.
  • Safe links and attachments: checked before you open them.
  • Automatic response: suspicious emails are handled automatically.
  • One overview: together with endpoint security and account security.

How Brandaris uses it

Email security is included as standard in Cyber Resilience. Read in the Mica Verzekeringen customer story how a fake invoice is now intercepted.

About Email Security

What is Guardz Email Security?

Intercept phishing, malicious attachments and misleading links before anyone clicks. With Check Point email security (formerly Avanan), for Microsoft 365.

Does this stop fake invoices?

Yes, that is one of the main reasons to use it. Mica Verzekeringen discovered that it had paid a fake invoice before becoming a client. Now messages like that are intercepted.

What if a genuine email is held back?

It can be released. We tune the filters so that work does not grind to a halt.

What is Avanan?

Avanan is Check Point's email security, which now continues under the Check Point name. Guardz builds on it. So you get the technology of one of the largest security vendors, managed from the Guardz platform.

Does this replace the Microsoft 365 filter?

It works as an extra layer on top of Microsoft 365 security, aimed at attacks that get through there.

Can Brandaris set up and manage Guardz Email Security for us?

Yes. We first look at what is already there and what you need. Then we help with implementation, setup and follow-up, or take over the management. We make clear up front what it costs.

Does Email Security suit your organisation

We first look at what is already there, and tell you honestly what you need.
