Proofpoint Stops the Attacks Traditional Defenses Miss in the AI Era
Proofpoint, Monday, September 21st, 2026
Proofpoint launched Agentic Collaboration Security, using intent-based detection and staged AI reasoning to stop attacks before and after delivery.
Proofpoint announced its Agentic Collaboration Security system, combining intent-based detection with agentic capabilities to protect how people communicate and collaborate.
The system reasons about what an interaction is trying to accomplish and applies progressively deeper AI analysis before a message is delivered, then continues monitoring in the inbox to catch attacks that evade traditional defenses.
It also identifies high-risk users and adapts their protections, using purpose-built agents to investigate threats, deliver personalized coaching, and proactively test defenses for weaknesses.
