Many attacks start with a person, not a system: an email, a link, a hijacked account. Proofpoint looks at the behaviour and intent of people to recognise risk, and increasingly at that of AI agents as well.
AI adds to this. Employees use AI tools, often outside IT's view, and AI agents carry out actions on their own. You then need to know which data goes where, and who or what is allowed to send it.
Proofpoint: human- and AI-centric security
Proofpoint is a security platform for email, cloud, collaboration tools and AI. The platform:
- Stops attacks on people and AI agents via email and other communication channels;
- Protects sensitive data in email, cloud and on endpoints, and shows which behaviour creates risk;
- Gives visibility into AI use: which AI apps, agents and MCP servers are active and what they do;
- Records what happens, so you can demonstrate it.
This lets you show, with evidence, how your people, data and AI use are protected, including to the board, an auditor or a regulator.
What Proofpoint does for you
Attacks, data loss and AI use affect the same people and the same data. Proofpoint brings these together in one platform, so you have visibility and control in one place.
- Core Email Protection works via API or as a gateway and blocks threats in email. Proofpoint states that it stops 95 million BEC attacks a year.
- Account Takeover Protection detects hijacked accounts, supports investigation and helps with response. Email Fraud Defence helps you set up DMARC and finds lookalike domains. With Secure Email Relay, you put application email behind DMARC faster.
- ZenGuide delivers targeted awareness training based on the risk a user carries. Your users learn to recognise, resist and report attacks.
- Enterprise DLP prevents data loss via email, cloud and endpoints. Insider Threat Management shows risky behaviour by users, and Data Security Posture Management classifies sensitive data in cloud and hybrid environments.
- Proofpoint works in three steps: see, govern and prove. You discover which AI apps, users, agents and MCP servers are active. You enforce policy at the moment a prompt or agent action takes place. And you record everything, from a single prompt to a workflow with multiple agent steps.
- Digital Communications Governance captures digital communications, retains them and makes them searchable. Together with the audit trail of AI interactions, you have evidence for auditors and regulators.

Why Proofpoint
Proofpoint is for organisations that do not want to secure people, data and AI separately. The platform is built around three domains:
- Collaboration Security: protection of people and AI agents on email and other communication channels.
- Data Security: continuous visibility and control over the storage, access, use and movement of sensitive data.
- AI Security: visibility and control over every AI interaction, including autonomous agents and shadow AI.
Proofpoint states that it protects more than 3.4 million customers, including more than 80 of the Fortune 100. Detection runs on Nexus, Proofpoint's AI and threat intelligence platform.
