The threat landscape has shifted.

In this year's HiddenLayer 2026 AI Threat Landscape Report, our findings point to a decisive inflection point: AI systems are no longer just generating outputs, they are taking action.

Agentic AI has moved from experimentation to enterprise reality. Systems are now browsing, executing code, calling tools, and initiating workflows on behalf of users. That autonomy is transforming productivity, and fundamentally reshaping risk.In this year’s report, we examine:

• The rise of autonomous, agent-driven systems
• The surge in shadow AI across enterprises
• Growing breaches originating from open models and agent-enabled environments
• Why traditional security controls are struggling to keep pace

Our research reveals that attacks on AI systems are steady or rising across most organizations, shadow AI is now a structural concern, and breaches increasingly stem from open model ecosystems and autonomous systems.

The 2026 AI Threat Landscape Report breaks down what this shift means and what security leaders must do next.

We’ll be releasing the full report March 18th, followed by a live webinar April 8th where our experts will walk through the findings and answer your questions.
