AI adoption is outpacing identity security—and the risk is greater than it seems.  

As organizations race to deploy agentic AI, legacy identity controls struggle to keep pace.

We surveyed over 2,000 IT decision-makers globally and uncovered a disconnect. Confidence in AI security readiness is high, yet critical gaps exist in the ability to govern AI-related identities effectively. Processes and controls need to catch up to how AI actually operates.

Inside the report, you'll find:   

  • The AI security confidence paradox and what's driving it
  • Why non-human identity visibility remains a critical blind spot
  • The governance gaps most commonly left outside traditional controls
  • Actionable strategies to align your identity security with AI innovation

Access the report to see how your peers are closing the gap and moving forward with confidence.
