The agent security gap: 54% of enterprises have already had an AI agent incident, and most still let agents share credentials

A VentureBeat survey of 107 enterprises reveals that 54% have already experienced an AI agent security incident or near-miss, yet most agents still share credentials and only 32% have scoped identities. The security stack relies heavily on provider-native tools, spending remains low, and most organizations plan to change tooling within the year, highlighting a significant gap between agent autonomy and security controls.
