New research highlights visibility gaps around AI-driven identities, rising NHI risks, and an AI security confidence paradox

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – March 25, 2026 — Delinea, a pioneering provider of solutions for securing human and machine identities through centralized authorization, has published new research examining how rapid AI adoption is reshaping identity security risks for enterprises. According to the report, “Uncovering the Hidden Risks of the AI Race,” 90% of organizations pressure security teams to loosen identity controls to enable AI initiatives, despite significant gaps in AI identity discovery, monitoring, and privilege control. The report also reveals an AI security confidence paradox between organizations’ perceived readiness for AI and their actual capabilities to adopt it securely.
