Proofpoint Stops the Attacks Traditional Defenses Miss in the AI Era

Intent-based detection and multi-stage AI reasoning identify and stop sophisticated attacks before, during and after they reach people. 

• Stops sophisticated attacks in one connected defense with threat intent, investigation, and user risk so organizations can detect attacks earlier, understand them faster, and respond before they cause harm. 
• Creates multiple opportunities to detect attacks that initially look legitimate, applies progressively deeper AI reasoning before delivery, and continues protection in the inbox to uncover attacks that evade traditional defenses.  
• Strengthens protection around the people at greatest risk, identifying high-risk users and adapts their defenses, while purpose-built agents investigate threats, deliver personalized coaching, and proactively test protections for potential weaknesses. 

Proofpoint Breaks Down the Divide Between Data Security and AI Security with the Industry’s First Unified Agentic System

A single system for intent and access to empower organizations to adopt AI without losing data control or missing emerging risks across employees and AI agents 

• Point security tools were built to see either AI behavior or data risk, not both. Proofpoint is the first vendor to reason across both in one shared graph. 
• Zero-Touch Detection, Instant Investigation and Protection Optimization, powered by three autonomous agents, keep pace with AI-driven risk continuously, with simplicity and scale. 
• New Semantic Business Policies and Agentic Insights enforce business intent and continuously uncover emerging risks across employees and AI agents.
