Case Study: Michael Hill Group achieves stronger email security and reduced phishing with Check Point Software’s Harmony Email & Collaboration

Securing Email Infrastructure Strengthens the Michael Hill Group

Michael Hill Group, a market‑leading jewelry retailer founded in 1979 with more than 300 stores across Australia, New Zealand and Canada and about 2,800 employees (HQ Brisbane), was facing an increasing volume of sophisticated, targeted email phishing campaigns that evaded its legacy defenses. The organization needed a proactive solution capable of mitigating AI‑driven threats and ran a six‑month evaluation and proof‑of‑concept process to find the right fit.

Michael Hill deployed Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to protect inboxes and collaboration tools (Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint) using AI/NLP and inline API inspection to stop zero‑day phishing, malicious attachments and compromised QR codes. The solution delivered real‑time threat detection, increased quarantines, fewer harmful emails reaching users, reduced workload for Cyber & TechOps, smoother integration, better end‑user education and an overall stronger security posture and productivity.
