"Researchers surveyed 300 security leaders and found a shift in enterprise risk management. While AI agents have become active participants in operational workflows, using legitimate credentials and interacting across systems in ways that closely resemble trusted activity, security and fraud models have not kept pace."
"According to the report, enterprise leaders expect near-term impact. Ninety-seven percent of enterprise leaders expect a material AI-agent-driven security or fraud incident within 12 months, with 49% anticipating impact within six months."
"Organizations allocate an average of about 6% of security budgets to AI-agent risk, and 10% do not track it separately."
A survey of 300 security leaders found a shift in enterprise risk management as AI agents participate in operational workflows. AI agents use legitimate credentials and interact across systems in ways that resemble trusted activity. Security and fraud models have not kept pace with these behaviors. Enterprise leaders expect near-term impact from AI-agent-driven security or fraud incidents. Ninety-seven percent expect a material incident within 12 months, and 49% expect impact within six months. Organizations allocate about 6% of security budgets to AI-agent risk, and 10% do not track AI-agent risk separately.
