Story
Inside BASF, email security used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in materials groups working out of Germany. Security and messaging teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
BASF uses Harmony from Check Point as the working layer for inbound threat mail. Check Point Software Technologies provides firewall, cloud, and endpoint security, with a shared threat intelligence layer. The practical change is simple: email security has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What BASF gets from Check Point is a durable place to run email security and a way for security and messaging teams to see the same inbound threat mail at the same time.
