The year of the AI agent

AI agents now outnumber the humans overseeing them, and 91% of organisations are already deploying or evaluating them. Yet only 21% feel confident in their ability to manage the security risks that come with this shift. This report breaks down what's driving the rush, where governance is breaking down, and what it takes to secure the agentic workforce before the gaps catch up with you.

What you'll learn inside:

• Identify agent risk tiers: Learn how autonomy level determines the real security exposure of each agent.
• Benchmark your governance maturity: See how your visibility and controls stack up against 100 surveyed security leaders.
• Navigate 2026 regulatory mandates: Understand how frameworks like the EU AI Act and SOC 2 apply to non-human identities.
• Apply an identity-centric framework: Discover the six principles that anchor agent access in continuous, real-time governance.
