Israeli security outfit Check Point has acquired cloud email security firm Avana,
Avanan will integrate into the Check Point Infinity consolidated architecture to enable cloud email malware protection, and expand security to SaaS collaboration suites.
Check Point said that it means the offering will be the only one on the market to protect the remote workforce from malicious files, URLs and Phishing across email, collaboration suites, web, network, and endpoint.
Check Point’s chief product officer Dorit Dor said that as more businesses shift to cloud-email platforms, said the acquisition represents a “huge potential” as organisations look for a new approach to email and collaboration suite security.
