Cisco Publishes State of AI Security 2026
Cisco today publishes the State of AI Security 2026, a flagship report surveying AI threat intelligence, policy, and research and covering developments through late 2025. It finds an adoption–readiness gap—83% of organizations planned agentic AI versus 29% feeling secure—and documents prompt-injection, jailbreaks, AI supply-chain vulnerabilities, MCP agent risks, plus Cisco's open-source scanners and fuzzers. The report calls for stronger governance and tooling.
Key Points
- 1Reports that 83% planned agentic AI deployments while only 29% considered themselves AI-security ready
- 2Highlights expansion of attack surface: prompt injections, jailbreaks, supply-chain and agentic AI exploitation
- 3Recommends urgent security controls, governance, and tooling including MCP scanners and adversarial fuzzers
Scoring Rationale
Official Cisco research with actionable tools raises impact, though company-origin limits independent verification and peer review.
