Threat Prevention - decoding QR Codes

[zaoar]

Hi all,

So i was reading the below article and made me wonder 

The Evolution of QR Code Phishing: ASCII-Based QR Codes  (avanan.com)

i have a Sandblast appliance working as MTA and I was wondering if it is able to decode QR codes and protect me and if so which blade is responsible for it? 

I would expect Threat emulation maybe?

The above article suggests:

• implement security that automatically decodes QR codes embedded in emails and analyzed the URLs for malicious content 
• Utilize security that rewrites the embedded QR code in the email body and replaces it with a safe, re-written link 
• Implement security that utilizes advanced AI to look at multiple indicators of phishing

What CP products will cover me for the above?

Thanks in advance

Harmony Email & Collaboration - Check Point's solution for Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace email and collaboration applications security - does.

So my current solution - sandblast MTA -  is not reading/recoding the QR codes and as i understand the Email and Collaboration is only for cloud mail provider. Not for on premise .

Correct?

Correct, HEC does not support on-premise mail servers.
Threat Emulation does not currently emulate image files, which I assume would be necessary to scan/analyze QR Codes.
