We are excited to announce that Perception Point has been named a leader in Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Email Security Radar, recognized for innovation and growth in the field of email security. This recognition underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that safeguard organizations from advanced email-borne threats.
Why This Recognition Matters
Email security remains a critical component of organizational cybersecurity, with email being the primary vector for phishing attacks, ransomware, and other malicious activities. Furthermore, the adoption of hybrid work and advancements in generative AI (GenAI) have enabled attackers to deploy more sophisticated techniques across a wider attack surface, successfully evading traditional security solutions. AI now plays a vital role in various aspects of cybersecurity, and is being integrated into solutions for more effective threat detection & response, automated response, behavioral analysis, phishing detection, etc. Being recognized by Frost & Sullivan highlights Perception Point’s innovative contributions in combating the rising sophistication and volume of email-borne cyberattacks.

Key Differentiators
The Frost & Sullivan report emphasizes several key differentiators that set Perception Point apart from competitors:
- AI-Powered Multi-Layered Detection: Perception Point’s platform leverages artificial intelligence to provide multi-layered detection, enhancing the ability to identify and neutralize threats in real-time. This includes the GenAI Decoder™ is a large language model-based solution specializing in recognizing social engineering/BEC attacks, even if they appear dissimilar. Additionally, Perception Point introduced the first solution on the market to combat QR code-based phishing attacks, incorporating real-time image recognition to identify and neutralize hidden malicious payloads.
- Comprehensive, Unified Workspace Protection: Perception Point’s solution extends beyond email security to include browser security that safeguards against web-based threats, enables safe access to SaaS apps, and prevents data leaks with admin-level policy and rules configuration and enforcement. With the modern workspace shifting to web-based applications, it’s critical for organizations to be able to protect user-centric attack vectors including email, web and SaaS apps from one unified platform.
The advanced browser security solution enhances Perception Point’s email security solution with the ability to:
- Block highly evasive phishing attacks that originate in email but only detonate in the user’s browser (e.g., CAPTCHA evasion, time-based evasion, or advanced geofencing evasion).
- Reduce phishing and account takeover impact by warning users that are reusing their corporate credentials on unsanctioned websites.
- Give visibility into which users fell victim to phishing attacks (e.g., phishing that was not detected, delivered via new attack vectors, etc).
- Send DLP alerts upon sensitive data input or mass download of sensitive email attachments.
- 24/7 Incident Response: Perception Point includes a round-the-clock incident response service, ensuring that threats are managed swiftly and effectively, reducing the burden on internal security teams.
Recently released, autonomous detection with GPThreat Hunter™, powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4, supercharges the company’s incident response service by autonomously resolving ambiguous cases, significantly speeding up detection and remediation. It ensures rapid evolution against cyber threats, fusing AI precision with human expertise for superior protection.
- User-Friendly Management: The platform is designed to be easy to manage, reducing the complexity typically associated with email security solutions and allowing for seamless integration into existing security infrastructures.
- Strategic Growth: Perception Point achieved a 111% CAGR from 2020-203, making it one of the fastest-growing vendors in the email security market. The company’s balanced and widespread market penetration is evident in its global presence across North America and EMEA.
