Proofpoint specializes in the places that people, and now AI agents, actually work (email, collaboration) and the data moving through them. Its core email protection sits with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace and is built to stop phishing, business email compromise, ransomware, and the quieter supplier and credential attacks that follow a trusted thread. Proofpoint reports that this protection blocks 99.999% of advanced email threats, with detection aimed at novel and AI-written lures rather than only known malware.

Proofpoint’s new Agentic Data and AI Security system is built to secure AI and data as one connected risk. Its innovative capabilities enable organizations to safely deploy AI agents with access to only the data they need based on intent, while translating existing business policies into runtime controls and continuously uncovering emerging risks across human and autonomous AI activity.

This wider platform addresses today's inherent and emerging risks. Data security is meant to find sensitive content, classify it, and control how it is stored, opened, and sent, including the accidental forwards that show up so often in healthcare and finance. Collaboration and AI security add visibility across channels and a record of how people and agents use models, with runtime controls and an audit trail. Proofpoint describes the approach as human- and agent-centric security, and it has published an Agent Integrity Framework as a maturity model for autonomous agents.
