Report finds growing tension between AI acceleration goals and security readiness as autonomous systems move toward production NEW YORK — February 2026 — Apono, the cloud-native Privilege Access Management platform securing human and agent identities, today released The 2026 State of Agentic AI Cyber Risk Report, a global study examining how enterprises are approaching agentic AI adoption amid rising security concerns.

For 83 days, attackers moved freely through Conduent's systems and exfiltrated 8 terabytes of healthcare records, Social Security numbers, and personal data belonging to tens of millions of Americans. No alarm sounded. No transfer was blocked. The breach was discovered when systems stopped working. Not because anyone detected the data leaving.

For two decades, security practitioners have lived with a tidy, almost childlike definition of an incident.

LimaCharlie's Agentic SecOps Workspace (ASW) lets agentic AI security solutions operate directly inside your environment. Everything in LimaCharlie’s SecOps Cloud Platform connects via API. For us, AI isn't a bolt-on layer. It's woven into the same fabric as your detections, sensors, and integrations. Limacharlie’s approach makes it easy for users to bring-your-own-LLM into security operations.

As organizations rely more on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to power critical operations, the infrastructure supporting AI development and deployment is becoming a high-value target for cybercriminals. From model training and data pipelines to cloud workloads and APIs, AI operations rely on access to privileged credentials and critical systems.
