compared to legacy sandboxing solutions that can take up to 20 minutes and cannot dynamically scan
all content.

The HAP™ is a patented next-gen sandbox technology which leverages Intel’s Processor Trace to
achieve unprecedented visibility into advanced attacks. All content is unpacked and dynamically scanned
without tampering with files. HAP uses CPU tracing as opposed to application behavior and signatures
in order to accurately detect APTs and zero-days in near real-time on both Microsoft and Mac – a duality
that other solutions have not been able to achieve.

Fueled by this seven-layer advanced detection system, patented isolation technology and a managed
incident response service, Perception Point can isolate, detect, and remediate all attacks across both
email, collaboration channels, and web browsers.

The SaaS-based Advanced Threat Protection System for Email, Cloud Collaboration Apps as well as the
Advanced Browser Security solution are entirely cloud-native from their original design. This provides the
speed that customers require, even at scale.The capability to create on-the-fly rules and logic, and
automatically update the system to deal with new threats, requires no effort on the part of the customer.
The user-friendly nature, as well as the speed, scale and accuracy of Perception Point, is key to its
product offering.

The goal of security teams is to protect their organization as well as the company’s customers; however,
this needs to be balanced with daily business continuity and user productivity. Perception Point’s speed
and transparent nature ensure that employees or customers do not have to wait for an email or for a file
to arrive via a collaboration channel, or experience web browsing delays. Online services that allow third
party uploads of files and who promise “real-time” service cannot afford to use inefficient and slow threat
protection.

In March 2022, Perception Point acquired Hysolate, a next-gen web isolation platform. This allowed the
company to release the Advanced Browser Security solution in July 2022. The solution fuses patented
next-gen web isolation technology and Perception Point’s unmatched, enterprise-grade multi-layer
detection engines, and due to Perception Point’s focus on usability has the ability to be installed on all
standard Chrome, Edge and Chromium-based browsers. This combination delivers the unprecedented
ability to isolate, detect and remediate threats from the web while also securing access to sensitive
corporate apps via an isolated, trusted Chrome or Edge browser - preventing data loss by design on both
managed and unmanaged endpoints. The availability of the Advanced Browser Security solution has
allowed Perception Point to become a one-stop-shop for isolating, detecting and remediating all threats
across an organization’s top attack vectors – email, web browsers, and cloud collaboration apps.

With the oft-mentioned talent shortage that has plagued the cybersecurity industry over the past decade
and the constant need for companies to reign in their outgoings and cut costs, especially in the unique
economic circumstances of 2022, enterprise Security Operations Center (SOC) teams are frequently
overworked and overburdened - they lack the resources to deal with the challenges they face at the
required speed. Perception Point has always emphasized that a first-class customer experience is key,
and the company saw a real need for tools to bolster enterprise security operations. Therefore, the
company developed a 24/7 managed Incident Response service, included with all Perception Point
offerings, that efficiently analyzes, manages and remediates incidents using AI, ML, and human-powered
