Close the Visibility Gap: Managing AI & Machine Identities in 2026

New research from Cybersecurity Insiders and Saviynt reveals the real state of AI identity risk inside large enterprises, including unsanctioned AI tools, uncontrolled agent privileges, and the fastest-growing governance blind spot CISOs now face.

 

Inside the report:

 

  • 71% say AI tools already access core systems like Salesforce and SAP, yet just 16% govern that access effectively 

 

  • 92% lack full visibility into AI identities, and 95% doubt they could detect or contain misuse if it happened 

 

  • 86% do not enforce access policies for AI identities

 

  • Only 5% feel confident they could contain a compromised AI agent 

 

  • 75% have already discovered unsanctioned (“shadow”) AI tools running in production 


Get the full data, charts, and practical guidance CISOs are using right now to determine whether their identity programs can still govern machine-speed access.
