Challenge	SONPO, a security, development, and integration services provider, faced the challenge of protecting its clients against zero-day threats hidden in email attachments and transferred files.

The challenge was to ensure protection across a wide range of client businesses, infrastructures, and file types.

Solution	SONPO chose to integrate Check Point ThreatCloud Threat Emulation API with their file transfer service, SOFIE. When a suspicious file enters SOFIE, the ThreatCloud Threat Emulation sandboxes it and queries ThreatCloud's threat intelligence to check if the file is malicious. ThreatCloud's Threat Emulation has the highest catch rate in the industry to protect organizations from unknown malware, zero-day, and targeted attacks. It also detects new unknown malware found in email attachments, downloaded files, and URLs through advanced AI-based engines. The ThreatCloud Threat Emulation API integration enabled SONPO to create a unique solution that delivers more than simple email security products. With SOFIE, clients can securely exchange files of any size or type-internally and with external partners. Files are sandboxed and inspected quickly. Those that behave suspiciously are flagged and further analyzed, stopping malicious files from entering the client's network. Read More Log in to view content
