Overview

• Proofpoint announced what Forbes describes as the first major security offering built specifically for agentic workspaces, embedding protections in conversations, documents, and AI-driven actions.
• Experts from 451 Research and Omdia warn that agents’ non-deterministic behavior widens the attack surface—especially when they touch core enterprise applications—requiring new visibility and guardrails.
• Forbes reports that an MIT study finds many GenAI pilots fail to progress to production, highlighting organizational process and architecture gaps rather than model shortcomings.
• Fast Company details a three-step path to reduce risk: build AI fluency, trial low-stakes assistants, then scale agentic automation with humans in the loop.
• Wrike research cited by Fast Company shows most organizations prize data yet manage it poorly, and ad hoc, siloed workflows risk being amplified rather than fixed by AI.
