Kiteworks expands runtime data governance with Bonfy.AI acquisition
Kiteworks acquired Bonfy.AI to add runtime, context-aware classification and enforcement of data exchanges by people, machines, and AI agents.
Kiteworks acquired Bonfy.AI to extend its Data Control Plane with inline, runtime data governance at the moment data is exchanged via email, file sharing, APIs, and AI agents. Bonfy.AI's technology evaluates sender, recipient, counterparty, channel, and business purpose to apply policy before a send completes, aiming to reduce false positives versus pattern-matching prevention tools. This is Kiteworks' eighth acquisition in under five years, with compliance framing around provable control for CMMC 2.0, HIPAA, and GDPR.
