AI is now in use across 100% of enterprises - but security governance hasn’t kept pace.

Pentera’s AI Security & Exposure Survey 2026 reveals a growing gap between widespread AI adoption and the security practices required to manage its risk.

Key Findings at a Glance:

• Skills and expertise gaps: 50% cite a lack of internal expertise as a top barrier to securing AI systems.

• Reliance on legacy controls: 75% of CISOs report deploying existing controls to secure AI-driven workflows and infrastructure.

• Limited AI visibility: Nearly 70% of CISOs report limited insight into how AI is being used across their environments.

When AI environments lack adversarial testing, they become unvalidated attack surfaces.
