The AI Velocity Paradox: Why Security Is Decades Behind AI Ambition

Summary

A SailPoint report, "Horizons of Identity Security," describes a "velocity paradox" in which enterprises deploy AI-speed autonomous agents while relying on human-speed identity security controls. It finds 60% of organizations still at Horizon 1 ("No Formal Program") or Horizon 2 ("Manual, Tool-Assisted"), and 54% at Horizon 1 for agent identity security, compared with 23% for human identity security.
