This strategic move marks a significant expansion of Fortinet’s Security Fabric portfolio, enhancing its capabilities to protect organizations’ modern digital workspaces.

Perception Point is a leading provider of advanced threat protection across digital channels, recognized by Frost & Sullivan for its innovative email and collaboration security approach.

The acquisition addresses the evolving landscape of workplace communication and collaboration tools, where traditional email security alone is insufficient.

“Perception Point is now part of Fortinet. Our AI-powered security for email, browsers, and collaboration tools is now backed by Fortinet’s global power. More threats stopped, more clicks protected, more threat actors frustrated.” Peleg Cabra, Senior Product Marketing Manager Perception Point, stated in a LinkedIn post.

Perception Point brings several key capabilities to Fortinet’s portfolio:

• Advanced AI and machine learning-based threat detection
• Real-time protection for collaboration platforms including Slack and Microsoft Teams
• Cloud-native security solutions for browser and cloud storage applications
• Patented CPU-level sandboxing technology for dynamic analysis
• Comprehensive image and file scanning capabilities

The integration of Perception Point’s technology into Fortinet’s Security Fabric represents a significant step toward consolidating security tools into a unified platform.

This move aligns with industry trends toward simplified, integrated security solutions that can protect organizations across their expanding digital footprint.

The combined solution is immediately available through AWS Marketplace and existing Fortinet channels. Managed service providers can also leverage these enhanced capabilities to expand their service offerings.

“As organizations continue to embrace hybrid work environments, the need for comprehensive security across all communication channels has never been more critical.” “This acquisition positions Fortinet at the forefront of securing the future of work.” Fortinet stated.
