Security features have significantly reduced phishing risks and enhanced Microsoft 365 protection
The main feature of Check Point Harmony SaaS is the mail protection, which is very good. The AI and machine learning capabilities of Check Point Harmony SaaS are available to explore data, though I haven't used them yet. The real-time visibility and control features of Check Point Harmony SaaS are good; the screen provides information about logins and situations, showing how many phishing emails were received. I have seen a return on investment from Check Point Harmony SaaS, as it saved me significant time by preventing users from clicking on links that could lead to illegal cyber activity.

Has improved data visibility and protection while enabling automated compliance monitoring
Varonis Platform offers multiple features for data protection, such as data discovery and classification. We can identify, discover, and classify sensitive data effectively, which is crucial given the DPDP law in India and GDPR. The platform also excels in access and exposure tracking, enabling us to monitor users, permissions, and reduce access to sensitive files. Additionally, it includes UEBA for behavior analytics and threat detection, making it valuable for compliance and audit readiness. Varonis Platform has helped our organization primarily for DPDP compliance, although I currently don't have a specific example related to GDPR or HIPAA. A unique feature of Varonis Platform that stands out to me is that, in the current market, it is one of the best data classification solutions available. Compared to others such as Forcepoint, Varonis Platform is agent-based and AI-driven for detection and response, identifying data based on its content and context, and it includes automated remediation and lifecycle automation, making it a leading product in the market.
