Perception Point is a cybersecurity company that focuses on advanced threat prevention across various collaboration channels, including email, web browsers, cloud storage, and CRM applications. Founded in 2015, the company is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with an additional office in Boston, Massachusetts. Perception Point provides a comprehensive Prevention-as-a-Service (PaaS) model, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and a multi-layered detection platform to intercept content-based attacks such as phishing, business email compromise (BEC), malware, and zero-day threats before they reach enterprise users.[1]

History[edit]

Perception Point was established by Michael Aminov, Shlomi Levin, and Yevgeny Pats. Since its inception, the company has raised a total of $48 million in funding from investors including Red Dot Capital Partners and NGP Capital. The Series B funding round in 2021, which raised $28 million, was aimed at enhancing their messaging and collaboration protection solutions.[2][3]

Perception Point offers several key technological features and services designed to protect enterprises from a wide range of cyber threats:

  • AI-Powered Threat Prevention: The platform uses AI, including large language models (LLMs) and image recognition, to detect and prevent advanced cyber threats in real time.
  • 360-Degree Protection: It provides comprehensive security across various collaboration channels such as email, web browsers, and SaaS applications, ensuring robust and unified defense mechanisms.

This platform leverages specialized hardware to provide additional layers of security, particularly in high-risk environments where software-based solutions alone might not be sufficient. HAP is designed to detect and prevent sophisticated attacks that might bypass traditional software defenses, offering enhanced protection for sensitive data and critical infrastructure.[1]
