Defenders Reluctant to Deploy Agentic AI as a Cybersecurity Tool

Flashpoint research indicates that only 25% of security teams have deployed artificial intelligence (AI) tools, with many expressing concerns about the potential adverse effects of AI agents on their operations. The reluctance reflects broader uncertainty within the security community about integrating autonomous AI systems into existing defense strategies.

Why it matters: Security leaders evaluating AI adoption need to understand peer deployment rates and documented concerns before committing resources; low adoption suggests unresolved technical, operational, or trust barriers that practitioners should address.
