Proofpoint has launched a new AI-driven defense mechanism designed to detect and stop sophisticated attacks that traditional defenses often miss. The system employs intent-based detection and multi-stage AI reasoning to identify threats before, during, and after they reach users. This approach enables organizations to detect attacks earlier and respond more effectively, particularly against personalized phishing and business email compromise attacks. The technology analyzes multiple signals in parallel, providing deeper context and clearer explanations of threats. It also adapts defenses for high-risk users, offering personalized coaching and proactive testing of protections. The new defense aims to address the growing challenge of attackers using AI to scale their operations rapidly.
