Enterprise Risk

A SailPoint report reveals 82% of organizations use AI agents, but only 44% have security policies, highlighting a growing risk as 98% plan to expand their use.

Sailpoint AI agents report 2025

A new report from SailPoint reveals a critical gap in enterprise security: while 82% of organizations already use AI agents, only 44% have policies in place to secure them. The study, conducted by Dimensional Research, surveyed 353 IT professionals across Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, India, Hong Kong, and Japan.

Key Findings:

  • 96% of tech professionals view AI agents as a growing risk.
  • 98% of organizations plan to expand AI agent use within the next year.
  • 72% believe AI agents pose a greater risk than traditional machine identities.

Top Security Concerns:

  1. Access to privileged data (60%)
  2. Potential for unintended actions (58%)
  3. Sharing privileged data (57%)
  4. Decisions based on inaccurate data (55%)
  5. Accessing/sharing inappropriate information (54%)

The Paradox of AI Agent Adoption

Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of Product and CTO at SailPoint, noted: "Agentic AI is both a powerful force for innovation and a potential risk. These autonomous agents operate with broad access to sensitive systems but have limited oversight, creating a prime target for attackers."

Alarming Incidents:

  • 23% of organizations reported AI agents being tricked into revealing credentials.
  • 80% experienced unintended actions, including:
    • Unauthorized system access (39%)
    • Accessing/sharing sensitive data (31% and 33%)
    • Downloading sensitive content (32%)

Call for Governance

With 92% of respondents emphasizing the need for AI agent governance, the report underscores the urgency for enterprises to balance innovation with robust security frameworks.
