98% of Enterprises Exhibit Security Exposure Risks, Vectra AI Reports

• •98% of enterprise environments have attacker-relevant exposure conditions.
• •Over 30% of devices in analyzed environments were unmanaged, creating blind spots.
• •The rise of AI agents introduces new risks, with some environments having more AI agents than devices.

Vectra AI's 2026 State of Threat Exposure Management Report reveals that 98% of enterprise environments have attacker-relevant exposure conditions. The report highlights that traditional security measures are becoming ineffective due to the rise of AI agents, unmanaged devices, and dynamic infrastructure. Over 30% of devices in the observed environments were unmanaged, including IoT and legacy systems, creating significant blind spots. The prevalence of AI agents has led to environments where there are more AI agents than devices, introducing new risks. Common vulnerabilities include weak cryptography and exposed credentials. The report emphasizes the need for continuous exposure management and operational context to identify exploitable attack paths. Organizations must enhance asset discovery and identity monitoring to mitigate these risks effectively.
