Hysolate develops an endpoint security platform designed to create isolated workspaces directly on user devices. This solution allows organizations to compartmentalize risky activities and sensitive data within a secure, local environment, thereby enhancing both overall security posture and user productivity. The core technology leverages isolation to protect endpoints from advanced threats, ensuring that critical operations remain segregated and uncompromised.
The company was founded in 2016 by Tal Z. and Dan Dinnar, both recognized experts in security and infrastructure. Establishing operations in Tel Aviv, Israel, the founders were driven by the insight that conventional endpoint security often forces a trade-off between robust protection and user efficiency, necessitating a novel approach to securing local computing environments through granular isolation.
Hysolate's platform primarily serves enterprises that require fortified endpoint defenses and the protection of sensitive data from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The company's vision centers on enabling organizations to provide their workforce with flexible and productive computing experiences without sacrificing security, by ensuring all sensitive tasks are executed within rigorously isolated and uncompromised digital perimeters.

Hysolate is a cybersecurity company that developed a software-based isolation solution for enterprises, creating secure, isolated virtual workspaces on endpoints like laptops and desktops to perform sensitive tasks without risking the main system.[1][2] It serves enterprises needing to protect against threats like malware and phishing by enabling users to run risky applications or access confidential data in isolated environments, such as splitting endpoints into separate operating systems—one unlocked for productivity and another secured.[1][2][4] The company raised $36M before being acquired by Perception Point in March 2022, pioneering "software-defined endpoints" and holding 11 patents in areas like computer network security.[1][3]
Founded in 2016 in Tel Aviv, Israel, Hysolate emerged to address endpoint security gaps by bringing virtual machine-like isolation to user devices, inspired by data center virtualization but optimized for seamless end-user experience.[1][2] The core idea was "virtual air gap" technology, allowing multiple isolated VMs to run on a single machine with shared display and input, preventing malware in one VM (e.g., from email) from affecting another (e.g., online banking).[2][4] Early innovation focused on software-defined endpoints to boost productivity while enhancing security, leading to patents and a free OS isolation offering for phishing/malware protection, building traction before its 2022 acquisition.[1][3][5]
Hysolate rides the endpoint detection and response (EDR) and zero-trust security trends, where rising remote work and sophisticated threats like ransomware demand isolating risky activities on user devices.[1][2] Its timing aligned with post-2016 cyberattack surges, filling gaps in traditional antivirus by mimicking air-gapped isolation via software—crucial as North America (45% market share) and BFSI sectors prioritize such defenses amid growing phishing/malware risks.[1] By influencing endpoint innovation, it pushed ecosystem shifts toward software-defined security, now amplified through its acquisition by Perception Point, enhancing broader cybersecurity platforms.[1][3]
Post-2022 acquisition, Hysolate's technology likely integrates into Perception Point's defenses, expanding isolated workspaces across enterprises amid escalating AI-driven threats and hybrid work.[1] Trends like zero-trust architecture and regulatory pressures (e.g., in BFSI/healthcare) will propel its adoption, potentially evolving into AI-enhanced isolation for real-time threat containment.[1] As endpoint attacks intensify, Hysolate's virtual air gap could redefine secure productivity, solidifying its legacy from a pioneering startup to a core cybersecurity staple—echoing its original mission to isolate risks without user friction.[2][4]
Hysolate has raised $41.0M across 4 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $10.0M Other Equity in September 2020.
