The Zscaler ThreatLabz 2026 AI Security Report highlights rapid growth in enterprise AI/ML usage during 2025, a 93% surge in data transfers to AI tools, uneven governance with 39% of access attempts blocked, and increasing risk from embedded AI features that create blind spots. It notes sector-specific adoption (led by finance and manufacturing) and shows adversaries leveraging generative AI for social engineering, initial access, evasion, and malware development, thereby compressing attack timelines. The report urges lifecycle-based controls—AI asset management, granular access and content inspection, and hardening of AI applications and pipelines—to safely operationalize AI at scale.
