Excessive AI Access Drives Enterprise Security Incidents
Teleport's The 2026 State of AI in Enterprise Infrastructure Security report, based on December 2025 interviews with 205 CISOs and platform leaders, finds enterprises that grant excessive permissions to AI experience 4.5 times as many security incidents as those that do not. The study reports 92% run AI in production, 67% use static credentials, only 3% have automated machine-speed controls, and recommends short-lived scoped credentials and unified identity governance to reduce AI-related risk.
