The 2026 Agentic Risk Report

We analyzed agentic deployments across hundreds of environments to quantify the hidden risk of autonomous AI. Here's what we found.

8x

growth in deployed AI agents per organization year-over-year

63%

of agents discovered were previously unknown to security teams

71%

of agent identities held excessive or standing privileges

4.2 days

average time before a shadow agent is detected — if ever

Inside the report

The report breaks down how agentic identity sprawl is reshaping the enterprise attack surface — from shadow copilots to over-privileged service agents and untrusted MCP connections.

  • How agent populations scale across industries
  • The most common privilege and scope anti-patterns
  • Where shadow agents originate and how they spread
  • A practical maturity model for agentic governance
