Agentic AI Governance Gap: 94% Confident, 33% Compliant

Agentic AI Governance Gap: 94% Confident, 33% Compliant

AI, Application Development, Cyber Security, Enterprise Software, Machine Learning /

Cequence Security and EMA surveyed 202 enterprise IT and security leaders and found that 94% are confident their AI agents aren’t over-provisioned, yet only 33% enforce least-privilege access. Sixty-five percent have already experienced an out-of-scope agent action, with 29% reporting measurable business impact. The research defines a runtime authorization gap that point-in-time compliance frameworks aren’t built to close.

Agentic Commerce Strategy: Closing the AI Spend-Outcome Gap

AI, Application Development, Digital Transformation, Machine Learning /

Enterprise AI budgets are growing fast, but measurable customer experience improvements aren’t keeping pace. ECI Research analyzes why agentic commerce requires a governance-first, orchestration-layer approach before brands chase autonomous agent architectures consumers aren’t ready for. The organizations that build trust incrementally in 2025 will have the advantage when true agentic capability matures.

Everpure Q2 2027: Data Primacy and the Agentic Storage Bet

AI, Application Development, Cloud, Infrastructure, Machine Learning /

Everpure reported record Q2 revenue of $1.2 billion, up 38% year-over-year, backed by back-to-back hyperscaler design wins and a new Data Primacy architecture aimed at enabling agentic AI workloads. ECI Research analyzes what the results mean for enterprise IT buyers and government technology leaders navigating AI adoption. The compliance friction problem, not just the infrastructure gap, may determine how quickly the Data Primacy thesis converts to regulated-sector revenue.
