Proofpoint MSP Platform adds Microsoft 365 capabilities in Q4 2026 to tighten permissions and sharing and support secure AI adoption.
Proofpoint's MSP Platform, its unit for MSPs and SMBs, is rolling out new Microsoft 365 security capabilities in Q4 2026 to help organizations build foundations for secure AI adoption.
The updates address risky permissions and sharing settings, make AI-powered security assessments easier to understand, extend adaptive security awareness training to Microsoft Teams and support more centralized management.
GM and EVP Daniel Hofmann says overly broad permissions and unclear sharing are not caused by AI, but AI can amplify their impact.
AI readiness therefore starts with controlling the data, permissions and channels AI tools can reach.
