Proofpoint, Inc., a cybersecurity and compliance company, has launched the industry’s first agentic AI solution for Human Communications Intelligence (HCI), marking a significant leap forward in how organizations detect, understand, and mitigate conduct and compliance risks in real time. Designed for enterprises in regulated and highly litigious industries, it transforms digital communications governance (DCG) from post-incident compliance to real-time, AI-powered risk reasoning, detection, and prevention, empowering organizations to act on human behavior before it becomes a compliance, security, or legal event.
A recent study of 1,600 global CISOs reveals that more than one-third cite collaboration tools, such as Slack, Teams, or Zoom, as their top concern for introducing organizational risk, surpassing GenAI chatbots, perimeter devices, cloud storage, and even Microsoft 365. Yet for decades, compliance teams have relied on connectors and archives that capture communications but offer little AI-powered intelligence.
In today’s environment of escalating insider threats, financial misconduct, and regulatory scrutiny, enterprises need intelligence that goes beyond raw capture and archiving to reason through real-time conversations, detect intent and behaviors, as well as signal risk.
“Legacy connectors are merely proxies that pass content downstream, offering little intelligence,” said Harry Labana, SVP & GM of Proofpoint’s DCG business.
