A recent report by Ospin analyzed enterprise production environments in 2026.

The report found that enterprise environments now average one AI agent, live or in draft mode, for every employee, with workforce interactions with AI agents growing 14x between January 2026-June 2026 alone.

Additionally, 67% of agents are being built by employees without engineering background like GTM, Customer Success, and Operations often outrunning the provisioning discipline security teams rely on to scope access safely.

Researchers also found that 60% of agents provisioned beyond default settings were granted allow-all access rather than being scoped to the permissions their tasks required.

60% of agents were judged to have configured capabilities that exceeded their original stated intent.
