Check Point Harmony Mobile Achieves Excellence in Mobile Security

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a leader in cybersecurity solutions, recently announced that its Harmony Mobile product has been awarded the Miercom Certified Secure Award in the 2025 Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) report. This accolade highlights Harmony Mobile's outstanding performance in safeguarding against mobile threats.

In today's world, where mobile devices are integral to accessing sensitive information, with approximately 75% of employees relying on them for work, the necessity of robust mobile security measures has never been more critical. Businesses face the dual challenge of discerning effective marketing claims versus actual security performance, which the Miercom report effectively addresses.

Independent Verification through Rigorous Testing

Miercom is renowned for its thorough hands-on testing, evaluating performance across 12 key security areas in simulated environments that mimic real-world attacks. The findings revealed that Harmony Mobile surpassed its competitors in every critical security metric.

• - Exceptional Malware Detection Performance: Harmony Mobile achieved a detection rate of 98.2%, exceeding the industry average by 15.2%.
• - Outstanding Zero-Day Defense: The solution successfully defended against unknown phishing threats with a 99% success rate.
• - Comprehensive File Protection: It effectively detected 100% of malicious APK and IPA files, along with blocking various non-mobile malware types, including harmful documents and executable files.

Unique Comprehensive DNS Security

As the only MTD solution equipped with comprehensive DNS security, Harmony Mobile is highly regarded for its ability to defend against network-based attacks. This feature sets it apart from competitors, enhancing its practical applications in real-world scenarios. Rob Smithers, the CEO of Miercom, commented, “The extensive verification showed that Check Point Harmony Mobile demonstrated superior protection capabilities in all attack surfaces within the mobile environment. From application security to network defense and file protection, Harmony Mobile consistently outperformed competitors and minimized the impact on device performance.”

Balancing Security Features and Usability

Miercom's evaluation did not merely assess security effectiveness; it also took into account the impact on the performance of protected mobile devices:

• - Minimal Resource Consumption: Harmony Mobile recorded the lowest CPU usage among the evaluated vendors at just 9.5%, compared to 17% for Lookout and 15% for Microsoft.
• - Battery Efficiency: Throughout the testing period, it minimized the impact on battery life, proving that its protective capabilities do not degrade device performance or user experience.

Additionally, Harmony Mobile's zero-touch deployment feature allows for rapid protection of thousands of devices in a matter of minutes.

The Benefits of Deployment

With mobile threats on the rise, from zero-day vulnerabilities to advanced spyware campaigns targeting various industries, conventional security approaches like Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) increasingly fall short of providing comprehensive threat defense. The findings from Miercom objectively validate the effectiveness that Check Point customers have experienced. Harmony Mobile offers extensive protection against all mobile threats without compromising user experience or privacy.
