Acquisition augments the Kiteworks Data Control Plane with AI-native runtime data classification and connectors to data repositories and systems of record, extending Kiteworks policy enforcement across agent and human data exchange and use.

SAN MATEO, Calif., [DATE] – Kiteworks, which empowers organizations to effectively manage risk in every send, share, receive, and use of private data, today announced it has acquired Bonfy.AI, an AI data security company whose platform classifies and enforces policies on sensitive data in real time and inline across email, file sharing, SaaS applications, data repositories, Internet-facing AI assistants, and autonomous agents. The acquisition extends runtime data governance in the Kiteworks control plane across the enterprise, turning every exchange into a governed decision made at the moment it happens, whether the actor is a person, a machine, or an autonomous agent.

The acquisition addresses a structural gap in how enterprises protect sensitive data. Enterprises have invested a decade in data discovery and posture management, building detailed inventories of the sensitive data that sits inside their data stores. With this acquisition, Kiteworks complements that value by governing that same sensitive data as it is exchanged into the third-party ecosystem. Posture management classifies data at rest. Risk is created in motion: in the email a person is about to send, in the file that is about to be attached, in the response an agent is about to generate.
