Complete Protection

Protecting Corporate Data Across All Mobile Attack Surfaces

1. App and File Protection

Harmony Mobile prevents malware from infiltrating employees’ devices by detecting and blocking the download of malicious apps in real-time.

App Protection

Check Point’s unique Behavioral Risk Engine runs applications in a cloud-based environment to determine if an app is malicious, leveraging machine learning and AI, sandboxing, advanced static code flow analysis, anomaly detection, and app reputation among other techniques. Mobile application scanning is available offline as well.

File Protection

By processing the signatures of the downloaded files and accessing them using the Check Point ThreatCloud™, Harmony Mobile can detect and block malicious files even before they reach the users’ device storage, preventing any damage to the corporate assets. Harmony Mobile also enables scanning the end users’ device storage so infected files are kept out of the organization boundaries. Zero-day file-based attacks are blocked by real-time cloud-based sandboxing.

2. Network Protection

Harmony Mobile’s unique network security infrastructure – On-device Network Protection – allows businesses to stay ahead of emerging threats by extending Check Point’s industry-leading network security technologies to mobile devices.

Harmony Mobile offers a broad range of network security capabilities, including:

Anti-Phishing with Zero-Phishing: Blocks phishing attacks across all apps, both from known and unknown zero-day phishing sites.
Safe Browsing: Blocks access to malicious sites from any web browser, leveraging the dynamic security intelligence provided by Check Point ThreatCloud™.
Conditional Access: Blocks infected devices from accessing corporate applications and data, independent of UEM solutions.
Anti-Bot: Detects bot-infected devices and automatically blocks communication to command and control servers.
URL Filtering: Mark websites as “blocked” or “allowed”, preventing access on any browser to websites deemed inappropriate by an organization’s corporate policies.
Protected DNS: Allows administrator to manage and control all mobile device’s DNS preferences. The service protects end-users privacy and prevents MiTM attacks & DNS Spoofing of plain text DNS messages.
Wi-Fi Network Security: Detects malicious network behavior and Man-in-the-Middle attacks, and automatically disables connections to malicious networks.

3. OS and Device Protection

Ensures devices are not exposed to compromise with real-time risk assessments detecting attacks, vulnerabilities (CVE) management, configuration changes or weak security settings, and advanced rooting and jailbreaking.

Harmony Mobile provides a full, synthetic, and actionable vulnerability assessment by running an extensive inventory of known vulnerabilities in the installed mobile operating system. Based on this data, security admin can easily identify risky devices, block their access to corporate resources, and prevent OS exploits.

Simple Management

Harmony Mobile protects both work and personal profiles to ensure comprehensive threat prevention. Tailored protection for all Android Enterprise deployment models. Harmony Mobile integrates with any mobile management solution (MDM/UEM), supports any device-ownership program (BYOD, COPE), and device work settings. This makes the solution highly scalable, delivering operational and deployment efficiencies for managing mobile security within a broader security infrastructure.

Zero-touch deployment

The on-device app installs on employees’ devices seamlessly.

Integration

Harmony Mobile provides out-of-the-box integration with the largest mobility technology ecosystem on the market.

Easy to manage: a cloud-based and intuitive management console

A cloud-based and intuitive management console provides the ability to oversee mobile risk posture and set granular policies. Harmony Mobile also expands your mobile application deployment security by giving administrators an application vetting service, allowing them to upload or link applications (both Android or iOS) into the Harmony Mobile Dashboard and receive a full app analysis report within a few minutes.

User Friendly

Quick User Adoption with Zero Impact on User Experience or Privacy

Privacy by design: user and corporate data kept completely private; no personal information is collected or analyzed at any point. Harmony Mobile never analyzes files, browser histories, or application data. The solution uses state and context metadata from operating systems, apps, and networks to determine if a device is compromised. It anonymizes the data it uses for analysis in order to keep it protected.

Elegant user experience: no impact on device usability and browsing experience; the on-device app performs without draining battery life or data consumption.

User education: Employees become increasingly aware of mobile security risks with detailed threat real-time notifications and weekly summaries.

“Check Point Harmony Mobile is incredibly easy to administer. We wanted a solution that didn’t overwhelm us or require too much resource to manage.”
David Wright, Head of IT Service Management, National Health Service (NHS) England
