The gap between AI eagerness and AI readiness was one of the top findings Zoho highlighted in its report. While 90% of survey respondents said AI could strengthen their cyber defenses, only 8% said they were currently ready to deploy AI-powered security tools. “An 82-point gap between belief and deployment readiness defines the most critical inflection point in workforce security,” Zoho said. At the same time, many businesses don’t have a handle on core cybersecurity practices. Roughly three-quarters of respondents said they lacked complete visibility into their identity ecosystem, meaning they don’t know who has access to which systems. While 36% reported partial visibility, 38% reported limited visibility and 14% said they had no visibility at all.
