Enterprise AI Security Readiness vs. Threat Exposure
Percentage of enterprises at each maturity stage: the readiness gap is the defining risk of 2026Security Readiness Checklist
Top actions your CISO should take this quarterAudit all AI tools for data handling practices before deployment
Implement least-privilege access controls for all AI systems
Establish a formal AI incident response plan and test it quarterly
Deploy prompt injection defenses on all customer-facing AI surfaces
Create a shadow AI policy and detection mechanism
Classify all data that could enter AI systems and apply appropriate controls
Require security review before any agentic AI system is given autonomous execution capability
