Perception Point Announces $8 Million in Series A Funding

Cybersecurity company Perception Point today announced it has raised $8 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Pitango Venture Capital, along with State of Mind Ventures (SOMV) and Korea Investment Partners (KIP).  

Perception Point was founded in 2015 by Israeli cyber-intelligence experts. It uses proprietary algorithms to examine data at an earlier stage than other cyber-intelligence options, directly accessing a computer system’s CPU to detect and prevent attacks prior to exploitation without delays or scale limitations. The company’s initial product is a cloud-based, multi-layer e-mail protection solution that protects against every level of threat, from phishing through to the most sophisticated attacks, known as N-Days and Zero Days.
