According to the study, which surveyed 1100 organizations across the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Singapore, and Australia, 93% of respondents worldwide use or are planning to use AI agents in security tasks. Worryingly, 92% of respondents admitted to having AI installed on local machines with access to SSH and encryption keys, thus exposing them to potential threats. Adding to these risks, 74% of respondents agreed that AI will amplify attacks on identity infrastructure, while only 32% felt \u201cvery confident\u201d in their ability to regain control after an AI-driven credential exposure. The study also highlighted the challenge of managing expanding non-human identities, with only 65% of organizations fully registering, authenticating, and authorizing their AI identities, and the need for better AI identity governance practices.<\/p>\n<p>Key Points:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Nearly all organizations are integrating or planning to integrate AI agents into their security frameworks.<br \/>\n&#8211; A significant number of organizations have AI on systems with critical keys, thereby exposing them to heightened security risks.<br \/>\n&#8211; While acknowledging the threat, less than half of the respondents feel confident in regaining control after potential breaches.<br \/>\n&#8211; Only a minority of organizations fully govern their AI identities, highlighting the urgent need for implementing best practices.<br \/>\n&#8211; Organizations have acknowledged the need to improve their AI identity governance, though specific measures remain unclear.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most Organizations Use AI Agents for Sensitive Security Tasks https:\/\/www.infosecurity-magazine.com\/news\/most-organizations-ai-agents\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-22 03:01:44 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":218995,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/assets.infosecurity-magazine.com\/webpage\/og\/7b8fc00e-ee27-4e02-a962-85cca579f5f2.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-218994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218994"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":218996,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218994\/revisions\/218996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
