Ecosystem

Perception Point stands out because it goes beyond just email — it covers browsers and collaboration tools like Teams, Slack, and cloud storage in a single platform. The included managed incident response service is a nice differentiator, essentially giving clients a virtual SOC for email threats.

For organizations using a lot of cloud collaboration tools alongside M365, it covers more attack surface than email-only solutions. The Fortinet acquisition gives it enterprise credibility and a path into the broader Fortinet security ecosystem.

What Perception Point Covers

  • Email Threat Prevention — AI-powered detection of phishing, BEC, account takeover, malware, and zero-day attacks.
  • Browser Security — Protect against web-based threats, malicious downloads, and credential theft through the browser.
  • Collaboration App Protection — Secure Teams, Slack, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, and other SaaS collaboration tools.
  • Account Takeover Protection — Detect compromised accounts and stop lateral movement.
  • Managed Incident Response — 24/7 IR service included — a virtual SOC for your email and collaboration security.
  • API Deployment — No infrastructure changes, no MX record modifications, live in minutes.

How Brivy IT Delivers Perception Point

Perception Point is available for clients in a reseller relationship who want advanced email and collaboration security. You get:

  • Multi-channel protection — Email, browser, and collaboration apps covered in one platform.
  • Managed IR included — 24/7 incident response built in, not bolted on.
  • Fast deployment — API-based, no infrastructure changes.
  • Fortinet integration — Path into the broader Fortinet ecosystem for clients who use Fortinet products.
  • Local support — Utah-based team for configuration and management.

Where Perception Point Fits

Perception Point’s edge is breadth — email plus browsers plus collaboration apps in one solution, with managed IR included. It is a strong option for clients who want multi-channel protection beyond just email, or who value having incident response built in rather than bolted on.

The Fortinet acquisition gives it enterprise credibility and makes it particularly interesting for organizations already in the Fortinet ecosystem.
