Proofpoint evaluation as a Leader based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, today announced it has been named a Leader for the second consecutive time in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Communications Governance and Archiving Solutions.

Gartner evaluated 14 vendors for its October 2025 report and recognized Proofpoint as a Leader for its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

“We believe our consecutive recognition as a Leader in this year’s Magic Quadrants underscores our continued leadership, strength of our vision and relentless pace of innovation,” said Harry Labana, senior vice president and general manager, DCG Business Unit at Proofpoint. “With our next-generation Digital Communications Governance platform and the industry’s first agentic AI solution for Human Communications Intelligence, we’re capturing real-time communications intelligence and redefining how organizations manage risk and move away from reactive compliance to proactive, intelligence-led governance that’s built for the AI era.”

Proofpoint’s Digital Communications Governance (DCG) offering delivers a unified, intelligence-driven approach to compliance, supervision and risk management through Human Communications Intelligence (HCI), powered by agentic AI. Leveraging Proofpoint’s proprietary Nuclei technology, HCI interprets human intent, capturing and contextualizing communications across more than 80 channels in real time. Intelligent agents autonomously assess conversations, flag risks as they emerge and provide transparent reasoning for every action. Signals generated by Proofpoint’s Human Communications Intelligence agents integrate directly with Proofpoint Insider Threat Management (ITM), correlating communications-based risk indicators with user activity across endpoints. This powerful integration surfaces the motives, means and modes of risk across the Insider Threat Matrix and empowers organizations to act before behavior escalates into compliance violations, breaches, or litigation.

As of October 15, 2025, Proofpoint has an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 in the Enterprise Information Archiving market based on 114 reviews on Gartner Peer Insights™ under the category of Digital Communications Governance and Archiving Solutions. Visit these 5 star reviews.
