AI adoption has reached 73% of enterprises in 2026, while real time security governance is just beginning to emerge at 7%. This gap reflects the pace of AI innovation and the need for security architectures to evolve alongside it.
Security stacks originally designed for human driven systems must now adapt to environments where autonomous agents can modify records and trigger code through APIs. Closing this gap will be key to securing the next generation of AI powered systems.
Based on a survey of 1,253 cybersecurity professionals, this report explores their concerns and challenges, as well as their strategies for visibility, data protection, and the best ways to keep those autonomous agents under control.
