Material Security vs. Check Point
Check Point’s Workspace Security platform (formerly Avanan and Harmony Email & Collaboration) sits inline behind native defenses to catch phishing, resulting in another quarantine to manage, limited remediation once mail clears, and no view into OAuth grants connected to the workspace or information that lives in Drive. Material is a single pane of glass for Google Workspace security, so you see risk across email, documents, and accounts, automatically, in one place.
Best for cloud-first teams on Google Workspace that want broad protection across email, data, and accounts from one console.
‍
- Lean security teams that need protection without added headcount or toil
- Organizations that treat Google Workspace as a first-class platform
- Teams that want visibility and remediation beyond the inbox — into Drive and accounts
- Buyers who prefer one platform, one price over a stack of modules
Best for Microsoft-first shops that want inline phishing defense layered behind native controls and are already invested in the Check Point ecosystem.
‍
- Teams whose primary concern is inbound email threats
- Organizations standardized on Microsoft 365, where Google is secondary
- Buyers already consolidating on Check Point's broader security portfolio
- Teams comfortable managing a separate quarantine and add-on modules
Differentiators Between Material Security & Check Point
Purpose-built for Google Workspace
Google is a first-class platform here, not an afterthought. Material was designed for the cloud office from day one, so detections, remediations, and reporting all understand how Gmail, Drive, and Google identities actually work. No translation layer, no waiting on parity.
Security beyond email
Email is only one attack surface. Material sees risk across email, documents, and accounts in a single view. So when an account is compromised you can trace the full blast radius, locate and lock down the sensitive files it can reach, and prevent lateral movement across connected apps.
Automation built in, not billed on
Automated user-report triage and similarity matching come standard. When one employee reports a phish, Material clusters every look-alike message across the tenant and remediates them at machine speed, turning a queue of tickets into a single resolved event, with no extra fee.
Why do security teams choose Material Security?
Simple. Protection beyond just email, with less manual work.
Email Security
Material runs on auto-pilot to remediate sophisticated email attacks that bypass traditional controls—providing a balance of flexibility and control without disrupting operations.Â
File Security
Understand where sensitive data exists, if it is exposed, and reduce the risk. Material detects sensitive content in files and automatically remediates excessive permissions and inappropriate sharing.
Account Security
Detect account takeovers, contain their impact, and proactively harden your accounts. Material prevents attackers from establishing their presence, moving laterally, and exfiltrating sensitive data.
