When I try to install Perspective Workstation, my companys virus scanner/ anti malware application is tripping:

Is this something that can be resolved? Maybe a certificate or something?

The "suspicious" executable is **java**. You or your company will have to allow it.

The details would probably help here, but Phil's most likely correct.  
Workstation is a self contained Java application that launches subprocesses that are running Chromium via JxBrowser. JxBrowser, the third party library we use to embed Chromium inside our Java application stack, internally uses a copy of 7zip to unpack its required files to a temp directory before it runs.

Any of those steps could be what's being flagged as "malicious" here.
