2026 RESEARCH REPORT

AI Risk, Agentic Access, and the Data Security Gap

AI adoption is nearly universal. AI governance is nearly nonexistent.

The gap between them is where your most sensitive data is being exposed, by shadow AI tools, autonomous agents, and machine identities that operate at scale with no oversight and no controls. Drawing on research from Verizon, IBM, Forrester, McKinsey, and more, The Ungoverned Enterprise lays out the stark reality and provides frameworks and insights to get ahead.
