AI deployments are stretching enterprise security to its limits

Security leaders report that AI deployments are expected to expand enterprise attack surfaces by an average of 14% over the next year. A majority of organizations lack visibility into AI tool usage, and 90% worry about employees using unapproved AI applications outside formal governance structures, according to NetFoundry's 2026 survey.

Why it matters: CISOs and security teams need to establish immediate visibility and control over AI tool adoption to prevent shadow AI use and associated supply chain and data exfiltration risks.

AI deployments are stretching enterprise security to its limits

A NetFoundry survey finds that security leaders expect artificial intelligence (AI) deployments to expand their organizations' attack surfaces by an average of 14% within the next year. Nearly all surveyed CISOs and CTOs report lacking visibility into AI deployments, and 90% express concern about employees using unapproved AI tools outside formal governance structures.

Why it matters: Enterprise security teams face immediate visibility gaps and shadow AI usage that increase breach risk; prioritizing AI governance and access controls should be urgent for any organization scaling AI workloads.
