Securing Remote and Hybrid Workspace with Harmony Mobile

“The hybrid work environment is here to stay.

Check Point Harmony Mobile is a mobile threat defense solution designed to keep corporate data safe by securing employees’ mobile devices across all attack vectors: apps, network and OS.

Omdia’s Market Radar identifies Harmony Mobile’s key differentiators that helped it earn the Market Leadership. Among them:

  • Delivering “a comprehensive set of capabilities that help businesses protect data across application, network, and device attack vectors. Features include a behavioral risk engine, anti-phishing, safe browsing, and man-in-the-middle protection in addition to protection against OS vulnerabilities and device-level exploits”
  • Integration “with all the major enterprise mobility management (EMM)/UEM solutions in the market, including Microsoft Endpoint Manager, VMware Workspace One, MobileIron Cloud and Core, BlackBerry UEM, IBM MaaS360, Citrix XenMobile, and Jamf.

Check Point has experienced good adoption growth in its mobile security management solution this past year, largely driven by the need to better secure and enable a more mobile-first workforce”.

Mobile Threats Can No Longer Be Ignored

As confirmed by Omdia’s report, mobile security is no longer optional. “The number of attacks and data breaches associated with mobility has increased significantly in line with the rapid rise in remote and mobile working over the past year. To counter this threat, businesses must adopt a robust approach to mobile security supported by mobile threat prevention, detection, response, and remediation capabilities”, – states Market Radar’s author Adam Holtby – “Mobile security must be considered and managed as part of a broader business approach and cybersecurity strategy, guided by the CISO where possible”.
