Fortinet Buys Perception Point to Extend End-to-End Cybersecurity

Fortinet closed the acquisition of Perception Point, which offers advanced collaboration and email security. This transaction enhances the company’s mission to provide end-to-end cybersecurity by extending protection beyond email, into the broader modern workspace.

Perception Point’s addition to the Fortinet Security Fabric underscores its commitment to streamlining cybersecurity through consolidation, integrating diverse security tools into a unified platform to more effectively protect customers. Perception Point’s AI-powered capabilities secure email, critical collaboration platforms such as Slack and Teams, web browsers, cloud storage apps and more. The integration should help to redefine how organizations secure user-facing applications and combat sophisticated threats across the digital ecosystem.

While traditional security solutions can fail to address risks posed by modern work environments, Fortinet aims to bridge this critical gap with a comprehensive vision that includes:

  • AI-powered workspace security.
  • Collaboration app security.
  • Cloud-native scalability.

A holistic approach to ensure organizations can defend against emerging threats while maintaining operational agility and efficiency.
