Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Proofpoint launched AI-native DSPM expansion on March 22, 2026, broadening Dathena's core use case.
  • Its 2025 LLM classifiers address trade secrets, contracts, and source code with rapid labeling.
  • Japanese and U.S. Proofpoint pages updated in 2026 keep Dathena technology visibly marketed.

  • Legacy Dathena differentiation disappears as Proofpoint extends AI DSPM on-premises by Q2 2026.
