The More Confident in AI Security, the More Likely Breached, Study Finds
Nearly two-thirds of organizations have suffered a confirmed AI identity-related security incident in the past 12 months, and the companies that feel most secure are being hit the hardest, according to new research from FusionAuth. The 2026 State of AI and Identity Report, which surveyed 312 technology and security leaders, including CTOs, CISOs, and VPs of engineering, security, and platform, found that 65% of organizations reported a confirmed AI identity breach in the past year, with a further 23% reporting a near miss. But the report’s most striking finding is not the breach rate itself; it is who is being breached.
