Proofpoint and vendors add AI security telemetry - Week of May 25, 2026

Overview of Recent Activity

Enterprise-focused updates during the reporting period covered AI-era security automation, AI governance for Claude Enterprise and Claude Platform activity, network modernization for telco and retail, and semiconductor process and connectivity ecosystem moves. Proofpoint introduced Active Exploits Protection to operationalize exploit telemetry into rapid protections. Multiple vendors added Claude Compliance API integrations to surface activity for governance and security workflows. Other releases focused on DPU offload for carrier visibility, SONiC-based networking, observability automation for MSPs, and microsegmentation market forecasts.

Key Themes and Developments

 

H3: Technology Releases & Product Enhancements

Proofpoint introduced Active Exploits Protection, using Proofpoint telemetry to identify vulnerabilities actively abused in the wild and “translate that intelligence into immediate protection across the primary attack paths.” The company described protection “in approximately 35 seconds with network-wide propagation in under 18 minutes” and said it maintained “99.999% detection precision.” It also stated global availability through integrated platform capabilities and API access.

Cribl added an integration with the Claude Compliance API to bring Claude Enterprise usage visibility into Cribl Stream, with an activity feed at launch and planned additions later this quarter. Cribl said the integration supports activity tracking for authentication, chat interactions, file uploads, and administrative actions. It also described capability for compliance workflows such as listing organizations, retrieving member users, and deleting chats, files, projects, and documents.

WSO2 expanded its Agent Fabric capabilities and introduced ThunderID, described as “an open-source IAM stack built for agents.” WSO2 said ThunderID is a new Go-based identity runtime for AI agents and applications, integrated with decentralized identity and “post-quantum cryptography readiness.” It also described WSO2 Integrator 5.0 with conversational development, agent-assisted automation, and observability for GenAI workloads.

H3: Partnerships & Ecosystem Engagement

Applied Materials said SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions Co., Ltd. joined Applied’s EPIC Center in Silicon Valley as an innovation partner. The companies tied the collaboration to process challenges in leading-edge chipmaking and aimed to develop “co-optimized process solutions.” Applied stated the EPIC Center work connected process expertise across deposition, dry etch, and materials modification with SCREEN SPE capabilities in cleaning, wet etch, and surface preparation.

Astera Labs said it would host press and analysts at Computex 2026 with live demos and technical talks on rack-scale validation and connectivity. Astera Labs planned demonstrations pairing “switch hardware with COSMOS-enabled testing.” It also scheduled a fireside chat and listed technical talks including “The Evolving Boundary of Copper and Optical” and “Inference Tokenomics: Making Every Token Count with KV Cache Optimization.”

H3: Infrastructure, Platform, or Deployment Updates

NVIDIA-focused infrastructure work was described by Aviz Service Node using BlueField-3 offload for observability. The blog said Aviz Service Node offloads control-plane handling and “line-rate user-plane steering from CPUs to the DPU.” It described subscriber-coherent steering to route traffic to appropriate probes and stated that control-plane packets including “GTP-C, PFCP, and N11 can be handled on BlueField-3 ARM cores.”

Nokia’s Core User Group reporting described operator views on cloud-native 5G standalone and core-network automation discussions. One operator said, “we have no choice but to move to 5G SA…the whole industry is going cloud native.” The report also described a disclosed core-network element of Nokia’s NVIDIA partnership, stating an edge server included “8 NVIDIA GPUs” with “the capacity to process a thousand tokens per second.”
