95% Of AI Projects Fail: Is Your Agent Deployment Secure Enough?
With 95% of AI projects failing, the security risks surrounding AI agent deployment are reaching DEFCON levels.
- 50% of enterprises are projected to implement AI agents in 2025, a five-fold increase from the 10% currently employing them.
- Gartner predicts that over 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027 due to escalating costs, unclear business value, or inadequate risk controls.
