Closing the AI readiness gap as it outpaces enterprise safeguards

Artificial Intelligence has crossed the tipping point. While 83% of enterprises already use AI in daily operations, only 13% have strong visibility into how it’s being used. The result is a widening gap where AI fuels productivity but also expands risk faster than enterprises can govern it.

Cyera Research Labs and CyberSecurity Insiders surveyed over 900 security leaders and found the readiness gap is growing. In this report, you’ll learn:

  • Why AI is emerging as a shadow identity: powerful, fast, and often unaccountable
  • The governance gaps leaving sensitive data exposed to AI systems
  • How regulators are outpacing enterprise readiness
  • What CISOs must do now to apply the same rigor to AI as they do to users, systems, and data
