Teleport Report Finds Over-Privileged AI Systems Linked to Fourfold Rise in Security Incidents
"It's not the AI that's unsafe. It's the access we're giving it. - Ev Kontsevoy, CEO, Teleport"
"AI has broken the camel's back. The rapidly increasing complexity of computing infrastructure has been putting immense pressure on identity management in recent years."
"Most organisations have more groups and roles than employees. Deploying non-deterministically behaving agents on top of this mess comes with unpleasant consequences."
"67% of organisations still use static credentials for AI systems, which contributes to the overall security risks associated with AI."
Enterprises with excessive access permissions for AI systems face 4.5 times more security incidents. A study of 205 security leaders revealed that 92% have AI in production, with 85% concerned about risks. Organizations granting broad AI permissions reported a 76% incident rate, while those with limited access saw only 17%. The report emphasizes that the complexity of computing infrastructure and outdated identity management practices contribute to these risks, particularly in how credentials are issued to AI systems.
