What happened
Metomic announced (Aug 12, 2026) integration with Anthropic's new inference-hooks protocol for Claude Enterprise, letting its DLP platform inspect and allow/deny governed Claude prompts (chat, Claude Code, Cowork) in real time before inference runs.
Why it matters
Illustrates the fast vendor ecosystem response (also Cisco, Cato, Check Point, Proofpoint, Palo Alto) to Anthropic opening a native inline enforcement point, shifting AI-DLP from monitoring to real-time blocking for enterprise Claude deployments.
Applicability
Enterprises running Claude Enterprise with existing DLP/AI-security vendors should evaluate inference-hook integrations for inline prompt/tool-call inspection.
