83% Use AI; Only 13% Have Visibility - Cyera’s 2025 State of AI Data Security Report

The report summarizes findings from a survey of 900+ IT and security leaders on AI data security, revealing widespread AI adoption but limited visibility, weak real-time monitoring, and insufficient controls—especially around autonomous agents and prompt/output governance. Key stats include 83% using AI, 13% with strong visibility, 66% detecting AI over-access to sensitive data, and only 11% with auto-blocking. It urges organizations to instrument AI from pilots, harden the prompt/agent interface, treat AI as a first-class identity with least-privilege tied to data classification, and anchor governance to evidence and measurable outcomes.
