Yoram Oron, chairman and managing partner at Red Dot Capital Partners, who will be joining Perception Point’s board of directors, said the company “is perfectly positioned to capture the rapidly growing yet untapped messaging and collaboration market.”
“We are pleased to join forces with the company and the other investors to help the company expand to new verticals and other parts of the world. The beauty of Perception Point is that it addresses challenges that many companies encounter today, offering a 360-degree, SaaS solution that enhances enterprise security and allows users to become more agile and responsive,” he added.
