South Australia’s Southern Cyber Strengthens Security with Check Point Software Prevention-First Strategy

Sydney - 6 March 2025 - Check Point Software Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced that Adelaide-based Southern Cyber, a leading provider of cyber security solutions, has reinforced its commitment to delivering world-class cyber security by implementing a prevention-first strategy.

"As cyber security challenges grow, businesses must invest in solutions that prioritise manageability, seamless integration, and operational efficiency," said Matt Payze, Senior Consultant at Southern Cyber. "Many security tools are overly complex, creating unnecessary hurdles. To strengthen security, tools must be easy to manage and adopt a prevention-first approach, ensuring robust protection and streamlined operations."

As part of a program designed to enhance its security and operational resilience, Southern Cyber sought solutions that aligned with its security philosophy. The company placed a strong focus on cloud security, remote workforce protection, email security, and mobile endpoint hardening to better safeguard business operations and client data.

To address these security needs, Southern Cyber selected Check Point's advanced security suite, including Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration, Harmony Endpoint, Quantum Spark, Harmony SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), and Harmony Mobile. These solutions, managed through Check Point's Infinity Portal, enable seamless and centralised security management.

The benefits delivered include:

• Harmony Email and Collaboration provides protection against phishing, business email compromise (BEC), ransomware, and malware, securing platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack.
• Harmony Endpoint offers a prevention-first approach to security, protecting endpoints with automated posture management, data loss prevention, and advanced threat detection.
• Harmony Mobile safeguards corporate data by securing employees' mobile devices against cyber threats.
• Harmony SASE ensures secure cloud access with zero-trust controls, visibility into SaaS applications, and enhanced data security.
• Quantum Spark delivers enterprise-grade security for small and medium-sized businesses, integrating Wi-Fi 6, 5G, SD-WAN, and IoT protection.

"We chose Check Point for its prevention-first strategy, offering proactive protection and unmatched operational efficiencies that align with our business ethos," said Payze. "Check Point's architecture and APIs seamlessly integrate with Microsoft 365, providing robust data loss prevention and ensuring sensitive information is protected while enabling efficient collaboration."

Enhanced Security and Operational Efficiency

By consolidating multiple security tools into the Infinity Portal, Southern Cyber has significantly improved operational efficiency, reducing the complexity of managing various security platforms. The robust reporting capabilities within Check Point's solutions also enable Southern Cyber to demonstrate compliance with stringent information security frameworks.

"Harmony SASE helps protect our mobile workforce, whether in the office, at customer sites, or working remotely," said Payze. "It ensures encrypted data transfer and a trusted internet address for secure access to our systems. At the same time, Harmony Endpoint allows us to safeguard both our own mobile devices and those of our customers."

The seamless integration between Check Point's security solutions has also enhanced Southern Cyber's security posture, providing comprehensive protection for endpoints, mobile devices, and cloud environments. Payze also emphasised the value of Check Point's AI-driven cloud security capabilities, which have strengthened the company's ability to detect and mitigate cyber threats proactively.

A Trusted Security Partnership

By implementing Check Point's prevention-first security strategy, Southern Cyber has fortified its defences while streamlining operations and regulatory compliance. The company has gained improved threat visibility, proactive threat mitigation, and greater efficiency in managing its cyber security landscape.

"There are substantial advantages in working with an innovative and reputable security vendor such as Check Point," Payze added. "The support we've received has been phenomenal, and we look forward to continuing this partnership to maintain the highest level of cyber security for our customers."
