Back to All Partners Avanan INVITE Networks is an Avanan cloud email security partner, deploying Check Point’s AI-powered email and collaboration protection for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles the API-based deployment, policy tuning, and ongoing threat monitoring for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — so employees stop seeing phishing and business email compromise attempts before they ever reach an inbox. TL;DR: Avanan, now part of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, uses an API-based, inline approach to catch phishing, malware, and business email compromise inside Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and collaboration tools like Slack and Teams before messages reach the inbox. INVITE deploys, tunes, and manages Avanan as part of its cybersecurity services, monitoring alerts and adjusting policy as threats evolve. This page is for IT directors and CISOs evaluating an Avanan partner who can own email security operations, not just the initial setup. What does INVITE Networks deliver as an Avanan partner? Avanan — now sold as Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration — is a cloud-native email security platform that connects directly to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and collaboration tools via API, rather than sitting in front of email as a traditional secure email gateway. As an Avanan partner, INVITE Networks configures the API integration, builds detection and quarantine policies tailored to an organization’s risk profile, and manages the platform on an ongoing basis as part of its cybersecurity services. That includes reviewing flagged messages, tuning false-positive rates, and keeping policies current as phishing tactics change — work most internal IT teams don’t have the bandwidth to do continuously. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for Avanan email security? Email remains the number one entry point for ransomware and business email compromise, and organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix — from financial services firms to healthcare groups — are frequent targets precisely because they’re assumed to run leaner security teams than larger metro-area enterprises. Avanan’s API-based model catches threats that traditional gateways miss, including attacks launched from compromised internal accounts. Credential phishing that slips past a legacy gateway is the usual reason organizations move to Avanan. INVITE deploys the platform inside the mail flow and tunes detection policies around the organization’s actual vendor and wire-transfer communication patterns — the traffic BEC attackers imitate — so malicious mail is caught without adding headcount to a small IT team. How does INVITE integrate and manage Avanan as part of its cybersecurity services? INVITE treats Avanan as one layer of a broader security stack rather than a standalone tool. Deployment starts with API integration into Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, which typically takes hours rather than the days required to reroute mail flow through a traditional gateway. From there, INVITE builds policy around the organization’s specific risk areas — finance teams handling wire transfers, executives targeted by impersonation, or staff using Slack and Teams for file sharing — and manages those policies as part of its ongoing cybersecurity and managed services engagements, reviewing alerts and adjusting detection as new phishing techniques emerge. What Avanan products and modules does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE deploys the core Avanan / Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration modules: inline phishing and malware protection for inbound mail, data loss prevention for outbound and internal messages, account takeover protection that flags anomalous login and sending behavior, and collaboration security for Slack, Teams, and file-sharing platforms like SharePoint and Google Drive. For organizations already running other Check Point security products, INVITE also integrates Avanan’s threat intelligence with the broader Check Point ThreatCloud ecosystem for unified visibility across email and network security.

Frequently Asked Questions: Avanan Email Security Is INVITE Networks an authorized Avanan / Check Point partner?Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized partner for Avanan, sold today as Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, with engineers trained on deployment, policy configuration, and ongoing administration. Can INVITE manage Avanan for a company without a dedicated security team?Yes. Most INVITE Avanan customers have small or generalist IT teams without a dedicated security analyst. INVITE handles policy tuning, alert review, and ongoing management as a managed service, so email threats get caught without adding headcount. How is Avanan different from a traditional secure email gateway?A secure email gateway sits in front of your mail flow and inspects messages as they pass through, which can miss threats sent from compromised internal accounts. Avanan connects directly to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace via API, inspecting internal and outbound traffic as well as inbound mail, and catching account takeover and internal phishing that gateways typically don’t see. How long does an Avanan deployment take with INVITE?Because Avanan connects via API rather than rerouting mail flow, most deployments go live within a day or two. INVITE then spends the following two to four weeks tuning detection policies against real traffic before finalizing the configuration.
