change to the enterprise’s infrastructure, and requires very little work on the side of enterprise security
teams. The company offers a significant value-added service through its managed Incident Response,
which is included as part of the solution at no additional cost, and boasts an expert team that serves as
a force multiplier to an enterprise’s SOC team.

Perception Point supplies unparalleled enterprise-grade cyber protection for organizations of any size,
covering the main attack vectors threatening enterprises today, all without disrupting business continuity

Perception Point is rapidly growing its customer base, and is externally validated by numerous third
parties. In 2021, the company reported that it tripled its annual recurring revenue and customer base for
2 years in a row and was recognized by Gartner for the third time running as a leading Integrated Cloud
Email Security Solution (ICES). In June 2022, SE Labs awarded Perception Point an AAA rating for email
security services protection, ranking #1 among several competing security providers. SE Labs tested a
range of email security services from well-known third-party security vendors and email platforms and
the results found that Perception Point achieved a ‘remarkable’ 100% Total Accuracy rating, detecting
every threat featured in the test, and returning 0% false positives.

What is Perception Point Capable of?

Cloud migration and digital transformation trends began changing the way companies do business and
how people communicate, with 5–20 different communication channels being utilized on average by
enterprises. This was supercharged over recent years by the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
introduction of the hybrid work era that has driven enterprises to adopt a range of modern SaaS and
cloud-based tools including email, cloud collaboration apps and storage to solve various issues that come
with the decentralized workspace. The accelerated deployment and adoption of these tools, along with
the need for remote access to organizations’ sensitive data, has not allowed security teams to catch up.
Many organizations are blind to the potentially malicious content that can be uploaded and shared to their
networks, and, at the same time, they are not protecting their sensitive data from managed and

organization.

As a one stop shop for the isolation, detection, remediation of all threats across the organization’s main
attack vectors - email, web browsers and cloud collaboration apps, Perception Point provides
unparalleled protection to reduce breaches, lowers IT friction and through its managed service reduces
the SOC resources required in the organization - all while ensuring user productivity.

Perception Point uniquely provides seven layers of next-gen detection capabilities, including the
aforementioned HAP™, which operate against any type of attack via text, files and URLs across the
main attack vectors: email, the web, and collaboration tools. This results in not only the best detection
rate in the market, but also the lowest false positive rate. The system dynamically scans 100% of content
(including embedded files and URLs) at an average scan rate of 10 seconds at an unlimited scale,
