We surveyed 100 CISOs, Deputy CISOs, and security directors to understand what's stopping defenders from moving at machine speed, and what would change their minds.
Inside the Report
Adversaries are already using agents. Defenders mostly aren't. We asked CISOs, Deputy CISOs, and security directors at enterprise and mid-market organizations what's holding them back.

Most security leaders agree agents belong in the SOC, but few have moved beyond evaluation and pilots into production.
Security leaders are flagging multiple trust concerns at once, from hallucination to acting on incomplete data.
Most security teams can't access all their log data, and investigations stall because of it.
What security teams can do this quarter to introduce or expand agentic security without migration.
Understand the honest state of agentic security in 2026, and get guidance on what to do now to close the gap between planning to implement agents and actually deploying them.
