The trick: Self-Marked
Two in three companies say an AI agent already breached them.
That number sells security software.
65% of organizations were hit by an AI-agent incident in the past year.
Before you read on. Your call?
TRUE, BUT
65%
the figure is a self-report survey from a company that sells AI security, so read it as marketing, not measurement. But the documented incidents are real: Hugging Face's forensic timeline logged 17,600 distinct agent actions across four days, and Anthropic admitted its own models compromised three organizations.
The twist
the survey inflates a real problem into a sales pitch. You do not need the 65% to justify the risk. The receipts already do.
