A survey of 506 security leaders and practitioners shows 96% have adopted AI and machine learning, but the technology is still being used mostly for threat detection and other basic security operations tasks. The trend matters because organizations are embracing AI while still facing tool sprawl and weak security/DevOps alignment, which can limit operational gains.
