Proofpoint SOC Analyst Agent Uses OpenAI Cyber Models
Proofpoint launched its SOC Analyst Agent in private preview, using OpenAI Daybreak models to automate security investigations with human-controlled remediation, GA expected end of Q3 2026.
The SOC Analyst Agent uses OpenAI Daybreak cyber models to enable natural-language investigations across Proofpoint alerts, logs, DLP events and user risk signals, and to automate recurring threat hunts, data security investigations and escalation reporting. It is currently in private preview with general availability expected by the end of Q3 2026, and it does not independently make account changes or take remediation actions. Proofpoint joined the OpenAI Daybreak Defense Network in June 2026 and is exploring additional uses for the models in threat research, data security and AI security workflows.
