  "account": "In July 2026, IBM released its annual Cost of a Data Breach study, which revealed a global average cost of $4.99 million, a 12% increase from the previous year. However, when a breach is AI-enabled, the average cost jumps to $6 million. Research shows that one in four malicious breaches are AI-enabled, a 56% increase from the previous year. Moreover, over 20% of organizations reported attacks targeting their AI models or applications directly. In fact, a survey by the Cloud Security Alliance and Token Security found that 65% of companies experienced at least one security incident caused by AI agents on their networks within the past year, with 61% of these incidents resulting in sensitive data exposure. Additionally, 63% of these organizations could neither enforce purpose limits on their agents nor shut them down when they malfunctioned. Gartner predicts that by 2027, 35% of countries will be reliant on region-specific AI platforms, up from the current 5%. This trend is driven by countries seeking alternatives to the closed U.S. AI model.",
