Zscaler Inc. has released the ThreatLabz 2026 AI Security Report, revealing a rapid acceleration in enterprise AI adoption and a growing oversight gap. The analysis, based on nearly one trillion AI/ML transactions across approximately 9,000 organizations, shows a 91% year-over-year surge in AI activity and a 200% growth in key sectors. Despite this expansion, many organizations lack basic inventories of AI models and embedded features, elevating AI governance to a board-level concern. The report highlights that critical vulnerabilities were found in all analyzed enterprise AI systems, with most being compromise-ready within just 16 minutes. The number of applications driving AI/ML transactions quadrupled to more than 3,400, increasing complexity and reducing centralized visibility. Zscaler recommends modernizing security with AI-native, zero trust approaches to address emerging threats and operational risks.
