What happened
Cybersecurity Insiders and Saviynt released research showing that while 71% of CISOs confirm AI tools access core enterprise systems, only 16% govern this access effectively, with 92% lacking full visibility into AI identities.
Why it matters
Organizations are managing a new class of non-human identities that can invoke APIs and hold persistent credentials with limited oversight, creating significant security gaps between system access and corporate accountability.
Action needed
Implement continuous discovery, classification, and monitoring of AI identities across SaaS and cloud environments to establish proper governance policies.
