Challenge

Organizations face daily challenges in keeping their systems and data secure from cyber threats. With the rise of cybercrime and the sophistication of threats growing, all businesses — even cyber security services providers — need the right people, processes, and security technologies to mount an effective defense and response.

Cyber threats require advanced security defenses, and Southern Cyber understands the risks. They deliver world-class security solutions to organizations of all sizes, emphasizing the need for skilled security staff to create effective policies and workflows. The selection of the right cyber security toolsets and platforms is essential for success. Customers expect end-to-end services, which is why Southern Cyber has built a strong MSSP business.
“As cyber security challenges grow, businesses must invest in solutions that prioritize manageability, seamless integration, and operational efficiency,” said Matt Payze. “Many tools are overly complex and fall short, creating unnecessary hurdles. To strengthen security, tools must be easy to manage and adopt a prevention-first approach, ensuring robust protection.”
Payze sought effective cyber security tools that specifically address the needs of Southern Cyber to protect against evolving threats. “We sought a security vendor with a prevention-first strategy—one that proactively safeguards data and assets from cyber threats,” he said. Particular focus areas included cloud security, remote worker security, email security, and hardening mobile endpoints.

Solution

Effective cyber security needs to span devices, networks, and applications. Payze selected several Check Point solutions, including Harmony Email and Collaboration, Harmony Endpoint, Quantum Spark, Harmony SASE, and Harmony Mobile, all managed from the Infinity Portal.
“Harmony Email and Collaboration protects against phishing, BEC scams, and other cyber threats targeting emails and cloud-based web apps,” said Payze.
“Harmony Endpoint delivers comprehensive security through a prevention-first approach.” It safeguards endpoints with automated management, robust data loss prevention, and advanced threat detection.
Harmony Mobile and Harmony SASE work together to secure a distributed and mobile workforce. Harmony Mobile protects corporate data on mobile devices, while Harmony SASE secures access to cloud services.

Quantum Spark provides advanced threat prevention, connectivity options, and embedded IoT security, all managed from the cloud.
“By consolidating multiple security products under the Infinity MSSP Portal, we achieved significant operational efficiencies,” said Payze.

Outcome

The seamless integration of Check Point’s products provides comprehensive security capabilities manageable with a single console. “By selecting Check Point, Southern Cyber improved its security through its prevention-first strategy, enhancing our operational efficiency and reporting capabilities,” Payze added.
