The agent security gap: 54% of enterprises have already had an AI agent incident, and most still let agents share credentials
More than half of enterprises (54%) have already experienced an AI agent security incident or near-miss, highlighting a critical gap between agent autonomy and effective controls. Across 107 organizations, agents are gaining access to sensitive systems while security measures lag, with only a third providing each agent a unique, scoped identity. This VentureBeat Pulse Research reveals that the security stack predominantly relies on borrowed solutions from model providers, leaving a significant vulnerability as AI-enabled attacks evolve.
The AI compute gap: Enterprises are buying infrastructure faster than they can measure what it costs
Enterprises are accelerating AI infrastructure spending, yet visibility into its economics lags significantly—a phenomenon we've termed the "compute gap." Across 107 organizations, intentions to evaluate specialized AI clouds are surging, even as existing GPUs sit at half utilization or less, and fewer than half rigorously track compute costs. This reveals a disconnect: organizations are buying more infrastructure faster than they can account for what they already own, signaling a shift away from traditional hyperscalers.
Agentic orchestration: Enterprise AI organizations have a deployment problem, not a platform problem — and most are calling chatbots agents
Enterprise AI organizations face a deployment challenge, not a platform one—and many are framing chatbots as agents. VentureBeat Pulse Research, surveying 101 enterprises, reveals Anthropic’s Claude leads agent orchestration (40%), driven by model gravity and reliable multi-step execution. However, a significant gap exists: 71% report that less than a quarter of their agents are truly orchestrated workflows, highlighting the need for robust tooling and fiscal control. Enterprises are prioritizing hybrid control planes to avoid vendor lock-in, signaling a shift towards operational consolidation.
