More than half of security practitioners report no established frameworks for auditing AI systems in cyber defence, exposing a critical governance gap as enterprise adoption accelerates. The SANS Institute survey reveals organisations are deploying AI-driven security tools without adequate oversight, audit trails, or compliance mechanisms.
