However, a lack of governance is leaving organizations exposed, the report shows that a staggering 52% of organizations report their use of AI is unapproved or ungoverned. This means risk is increasingly emerging through everyday work behaviors, not isolated incidents.<\/p>\n<p xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\">\nKey Findings from the Report:<\/p>\n<ul xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\" class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n86% of employees say deepfake content is so realistic that it is harder to know what to trust.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n64% of employees say it\u2019s possible that they could be tricked by AI-enabled attacks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nAlmost six in ten cybersecurity leaders (58%) report that mistakes during everyday work have had the greatest impact on their organization\u2019s cybersecurity in the past 12 months.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n42% of cybersecurity leaders identify AI-enabled attacks as a key driver of future human-related cybersecurity risks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nOver a third of employees reported that they commonly source their own agentic AI tools where options are unavailable or restrictive, leaving organizations vulnerable to cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\">\nThe report shows that organizations making progress are those who prioritize cybersecurity as a culture over a mere function, seamlessly incorporating secure behaviors into daily work. These organizations are creating environments where employees feel safe reporting mistakes, with 89% of employees agreeing.
