Agentic AI Shifts to Execution and Security as Proofpoint Debuts Workspace Controls

New reporting finds that foundations—clean workflows, modular orchestration and people‑centric change—separate stalled pilots from scalable value.

Overview

  • Fast Company reports that AI amplifies broken operations without structured workflows and clean, integrated data, citing Wrike research showing most firms prize data but manage it poorly.
  • Forbes highlights that many GenAI and agentic pilots fail to reach production, with McKinsey’s Oana Cheta urging systemic reinvention and reusable patterns such as orchestration and memory layers over model chasing.
  • Microsoft’s Agentic Teaming & Trust study finds high‑frequency AI users are 1.9x likelier to report people‑centric practices, with a 38‑point gap tied to training, upskilling and visible leadership role‑modeling.
  • Forbes reports Proofpoint as the first major security vendor to embed protections inside agentic workspaces, extending visibility and guardrails to conversations, documents and AI‑driven actions as experts warn of a widened attack surface.
  • Analyses from Datafloq, Nature and Dev Community note that multi‑agent systems enable new capabilities but introduce unpredictability, and that AppSec automation and AI‑generated fixes promise speed yet raise accountability, validation and adversarial‑risk concerns.
