Enterprise AI Systems Vulnerable to Breach: 91% Year-over-Year Surge in AI Activity Creates Oversight Gap

A new Zscaler report finds a 91% YoY surge in AI activity, with most enterprise AI systems vulnerable to compromise in just 16 minutes. The number of AI/ML transactions quadrupled YoY to over 3,400, increasing complexity and reducing centralized visibility. Data transfers to AI/ML applications surged 93%, totaling over 18,000 terabytes. The report warns that enterprises are unprepared for the next wave of AI-driven cyber risk, with AI becoming a primary vector for autonomous, machine-speed attacks.
