Perimeter 81 is a Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity company providing a cloud-native Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform that simplifies network security for distributed workforces. It offers secure remote access to networks, applications, and cloud resources, replacing legacy hardware like VPNs and firewalls with a unified SaaS solution featuring Firewall as a Service, Device Posture Check, Web Filtering, and integration with AWS, Azure, and GCP.[1][2][3] Serving over 2,800 customers from small businesses to enterprises, it addresses the shift to cloud and remote work by enabling easy resource management, visibility, and security in a single portal, with $165 million in total funding including a $100 million Series C in January that valued it at $1 billion.[3]
Founded five years ago in Tel Aviv, Israel, Perimeter 81 emerged to tackle the limitations of traditional site-based network security amid rising cloud adoption and remote work, a trend accelerated by COVID-19.[3] Co-founder and CEO Amit Bareket leads the company, which entered the SASE market about two years prior to early 2024 and has since matured its offerings to focus on Security Service Edge (SSE) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).[3] Early traction came from transforming hardware appliances into scalable cloud solutions, leading to rapid growth with 300 channel partners and substantial funding from investors like B Capital to expand sales, marketing, and R&D.[3]
(Note: Perimeter 81 appears integrated into Check Point's Harmony SASE portfolio, reflecting acquisition or rebranding, but operates distinctly in sources.[4][6])
Perimeter 81 rides the SASE wave, converging networking and security to secure the "new corporate network" of open internet, cloud resources, and remote employees, where legacy tools fail.[3] Timing aligns with post-COVID hybrid work and cloud migrations, countering market forces like rising cyber threats and regulatory demands for zero-trust models.[1][3] It influences the ecosystem by empowering MSPs and partners to modernize client infrastructures, fostering scalable security adoption among thousands of global organizations and challenging hardware giants.[1][3]
Perimeter 81 is poised to expand its $1 billion valuation through aggressive partner growth and R&D, capitalizing on SASE demand as enterprises ditch VPNs for zero-trust SSE.[3] Trends like AI-driven threats and multi-cloud complexity will shape its path, potentially deepening Check Point integration for broader reach.[4][6] Its influence may evolve from disruptor to standard-setter, simplifying security for a perpetually remote workforce—turning perimeter-less networks into fortified ones, as its name promises.[3]
