Akeyless

A new Akeyless global survey of 400 IT and security leaders finds that two-thirds of organizations suspect AI agents have already accessed data beyond their intended scope. With a 14-hour average detection window and more than $1 million in annual incident costs, the report exposes a structural gap between how AI agents are provisioned and how enterprises govern them. ECI Research examines what this means for security strategy, developer practices, and the emerging AI agent identity market.
