DigiCert's AI Trust Outlook survey of **1,001 IT and security leaders** in the US, UK, and Australia found **78%** of organizations had either experienced AI-related security incidents or identified AI-related vulnerabilities. The underlying DigiCert PDF frames the issue as an identity and governance problem, while The Register reports a company spokesperson's breakdown: 27.7% had one incident, 21.9% had multiple incidents, and 28.4% found vulnerabilities without incidents. For security and data teams, the practical signal is that **AI agents** are entering production faster than inventories, permissions, and audit trails can keep up. DigiCert also reports **90%** of organizations have discussed AI governance at board or executive level, but only 50% have dedicated budgets and formal programs.
