About Perception Point
FortiMail Workspace Security is Fortinet's AI powered security suite for the modern workspace, and Fortinet states that it was formerly Perception Point. It protects the places where users receive and exchange content: email, web browsers, collaboration tools and cloud storage. It is delivered as software as a service and is designed to sit alongside Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
The suite has three components that can be deployed together or separately. FortiMail Cloud SaaS is the email layer, an integrated cloud email security product that scans all traffic to detect and neutralize threats, including attacks written with generative AI. Browser Security protects browsers and web applications against web borne attacks and data loss and works with any browser. Collaboration Security covers cloud storage such as Dropbox and OneDrive, messaging apps such as Teams and Slack, and customer apps such as Salesforce and Zendesk.
A managed incident response service runs around the clock as part of the suite. Security analysts act as an extension of the customer's security operations team, triaging flagged activity across email, browsers and collaboration apps, tuning policies and handling false positives.
It is aimed at security and IT teams in organizations that want one layered defense across user facing apps. Pricing is not published on the product page, which directs buyers to contact Fortinet, and a solution brief is available to download.
