Avanan (by Check Point) integrates directly with Microsoft 365 to block phishing, malware, and account-takeover attacks that slip past Microsoft’s built-in filters. Sitting inside the cloud via API—not as a gateway—it scans inbound, outbound, and internal emails as well as OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Using Check Point’s ThreatCloud intelligence, AI-driven analysis, and sandboxing, Avanan detects and quarantines advanced threats before they reach users.
Huntress Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) This one is specifically for Microsoft 365 users. When we hosted Exchange email, account takeovers were rare. Now with Microsoft 365, we’re seeing 10+ hijacking attempts every week. ITDR monitors logins, detects impossible travel (like a login from Russia five minutes after one from Illinois), watches for credential sharing, and automatically flags or shuts down suspicious activity.
