The agent security gap: 54% of enterprises have already had an AI agent incident, and most still let agents share credentials

Research across 107 enterprises reveals a significant agent security gap, with 54% reporting AI agent security incidents or near-misses. Many organizations allow agents to share credentials, and only one-third provide scoped identities. Furthermore, only 30% isolate high-risk agents. Security stacks rely heavily on hyperscalers and model providers rather than purpose-built tools. These lapses create urgent needs for scalable defenses, particularly within vulnerable sectors such as cryptocurrency, as defenses struggle to keep pace with attackers.
