NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

As of December 2025, Proofpoint is the strategic cybersecurity partner of over 2.8 million customers worldwide. These organizations are often replacing point products or legacy solutions with a purpose-built security platform that protects collaboration in the agentic workspace: where every collaboration—whether by a person or an AI agent—introduces new risks. Proofpoint provides organizations the security solutions they need to protect their people and secure their data while confidently embracing the AI revolution.

Built to secure the AI-powered workforce:

AI is inherently human. It reflects human intent, behavior, and decision-making, and it operates on human data. Proofpoint’s long-standing leadership in human-centric security uniquely positions the company to secure the AI-powered workforce. Proofpoint has always been laser-focused on protecting people as the primary attack surface, using deep behavioral intelligence and context to stop advanced threats and prevent data loss across email, cloud, and collaboration environments. As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of users, Proofpoint extends these same protections to autonomous agents, securing both human and machine-driven interactions with a unified, purpose-built platform.

Proven market leadership:

Proofpoint’s leadership is reinforced by strong and sustained market adoption across industries and geographies. Enterprises continue to standardize on Proofpoint as their strategic security platform, consolidating fragmented tools into a unified approach that reduces complexity and improves security outcomes. Proofpoint enterprise customers span a broad range of industries and include more than 80% of the Fortune 100, over 60% of the Fortune 1000, 38% of the FTSE 100, and 30% of EMEA-based companies in the Forbes Global 2000.

Intelligence-driven innovation:

At the core of Proofpoint’s platform is Proofpoint Nexus, an ensemble of advanced AI models and machine learning techniques designed to detect, prevent, and neutralize complex threats—such as phishing, business email compromise, malware, account takeovers, and insider risk—across email, cloud, web, and collaboration environments.

Proofpoint Nexus integrates multiple AI capabilities, including language models that identify subtle indicators of threat intent, behavioral relationship graphs that detect deviations signaling risk, and generative and vision models that uncover hidden or sophisticated attack vectors. The result is AI-driven security that evolves with the threat landscape while helping security teams efficiently stay ahead of attackers.

Leading the future of cybersecurity:

Proofpoint is shaping the future of cybersecurity by securing the intersection of people, data, and AI agents. Its clear vision for the agentic workspace, combined with sustained innovation and proven execution, positions Proofpoint as the definitive leader in protecting modern work.
