European AI adoption hits 99% with regulated data driving most policy violations

The Netskope Threat Labs Europe 2026 report documents near-universal AI adoption across European organizations and rising data exposure risks: regulated data accounts for the majority of policy violations, source code and IP are frequently exposed, and attackers increasingly host malicious payloads on trusted cloud platforms (e.g., GitHub, OneDrive). The report recommends pairing data loss prevention with application-specific governance to address shadow AI usage, account switching between personal and enterprise AI, embedded AI features in productivity tools, and the abuse of reputable cloud services for malware delivery.
