There’s a growing disconnect between AI ambition and operational readiness, as businesses race to prove value with AI before their competitors. Across numerous organizations, a growing number of AI agents are deployed and operating without guardrails, and that’s going to have major consequences sooner rather than later, says Rory Blundell, CEO of Gravitee.

“Organizations are rushing to implement AI agents without the necessary security frameworks or structured onboarding processes in place,” Blundell explains. “As a result, we believe there’s a strong likelihood that within the next couple of years, there will be a major data breach caused by an agent acting outside of its intended remit, whether unknowingly or due to oversight by its human operators. It’s a risk that businesses must get ahead of now, before it’s too late.”

According to Gravitee’s recent State of Agentic AI survey, 72% of organizations are already using agentic AI systems. Additionally, 75% of respondents cite governance as their top concern. However, many global business leaders still don’t fully understand the breadth of risks inherent in their agentic experiments, especially as the number of agents they deploy stacks up.
