#1 in Detection Testing

Independent tests found that Perception Point outperformed competing products like Mimecast, Fortinet, MDO, and others in terms of detection accuracy and lowest false positive rates.

Unlimited Scale

We scan 100% of content. We meet any scale and any demand since we are not constrained by the inherent limits of conventional sandbox solutions like Mimecast. Now you can stop relying on heuristics and legacy policies.

Light Speed Prevention

Next-generation static and dynamic engines work together to produce accurate results with almost zero delay and an excellent user experience.

Advanced Anti-Evasion

Patented anti-evasion engines from Perception Point can defeat any advanced threat. Our solution can find even the most concealed threats, hidden within files and URLs. This allows us to expertly prevent APTs, Zero-Days, exploitation techniques, and other security risks.

Zero Fuss

We don’t require any MX Records, unlike Mimecast. This has two benefits: first, you can preserve your current Office 365 or G Suite built-in protection; second, we can be deployed in 10 minutes, without hassling your IT team.

Incident Response
Managed Service

Mimecast is a solution, but we are a service. An all-inclusive team of cybersecurity specialists work around-the-clock as an extension of your company’s SOC team. The team manages all of your security-related tasks for you, including managing incidents, optimizing engines, reporting and investigating users requests.
