"The difference lies in the scale and speed at which AI operates. According to Proofpoint, artificial intelligence consumes, generates, and processes data at a level that was previously unimaginable. This increases the risk of sensitive information being exposed on a large scale. Security tools and strategies used in the digital workplace, such as collaboration protection and data security, remain indispensable, but must now apply to AI agents as well as human users."
"Whereas employees used to work mainly with each other, we are now seeing the emergence of the so-called agentic workspace, in which people and AI agents collaborate on tasks. This shift presents new opportunities, but also introduces additional risks to data protection and cybersecurity. Proofpoint wants to play a role in this new reality. Proofpoint is demonstrating this during its Protect 2025 conference in Nashville, which Techzine is attending."
AI agents are being integrated into workplaces, creating an agentic workspace where people and agents collaborate and agents perform independent tasks and manage processes. Both humans and AI agents face similar risks, including social engineering via prompt engineering and accidental or intentional sharing of sensitive information. AI consumes, generates, and processes data at unprecedented scale and speed, amplifying the potential for large-scale exposures. Existing security tools and strategies such as collaboration protection and data security remain essential but must be extended to cover AI agents and their interactions. Organizations must adapt human-centric security models to include agent-focused protections.
