Challenges
Protecting staff from phishing and fraud
Most attacks arrive by email and rely on one busy person clicking. Filter the inbox, protect accounts and train people for the rest.
The challenge
An email from a known supplier asks you to update their bank details. A contact says they have left you a voicemail and you need to sign in to hear it. It is late on a Friday, the inbox is full and someone is chasing month-end. Modern phishing mirrors your tone, timing and workflows, and it only takes one person to hand over a password or pay the wrong account.
What we would do first
-
Baseline your risk
One targeted simulated phishing email shows who would have been caught, so training starts where it is needed.
-
Stop it before the inbox
Check Point Harmony Email in front of your mailboxes, quarantining phishing, malware attachments and links before delivery.
-
Protect accounts and devices
Multi-factor authentication, Microsoft 365 sign-ins monitored for account takeover, and a strong, unique password for every account.
-
Train for the risky moments
Short lessons and regular simulations around finance approvals and supplier changes, with reports on who improved and which lures still work.

Questions people ask
Does Microsoft 365 not filter email already?
It filters some. Check Point adds a dedicated layer that catches more phishing and malware before it reaches staff.
Why send staff simulated phishing emails?
They show who would have been caught in a real attack, so training can focus where it is needed.
What happens to a genuine email that gets stopped?
It is held in quarantine, not deleted, and can be released straight away.
What if a password is stolen anyway?
Multi-factor authentication is required at sign-in, and Microsoft 365 sign-ins are monitored for signs of account takeover so it can be spotted and dealt with.
How do we know the training is working?
You get reports on who improved and which lures still work, so the next round of training focuses on the risks that remain.
