Financial terms were not disclosed. “Tessian’s innovative technology will further enhance Proofpoint’s threat and information protection platforms by adding powerful layers of AI-powered defense that address risky user behaviors, including misdirected email and data exfiltration. We’re delighted to welcome the Tessian team to Proofpoint and look forward to helping organizations address the most frequent form of data loss at the most critical stages of the attack chain,” Darren Lee, Proofpoint Executive Vice President.
