New: AI Workspace – Secure AI for Organizations With Sensitive Data. Learn more.
Shadow AI is the rule, not the exception
41% use personal accounts for work-related AI tasks – bypassing IT, data protection, and compliance.
Uncertainty is slowing down the work
One in two people has already avoided using AI at work or abandoned a task they had started—out of concern for data and compliance.
The higher the floor, the more relaxed the rules
As one's position in the company rises, so does a sense of complacency – managers share sensitive data much more freely than their teams do.
As a company grows, so does its complexity
In-house AI solutions in use: 4% among small companies, 21% among large companies – and as maturity increases, so does the need for oversight.
The greatest potential remains untapped
92% do without AI support at least occasionally, even though it would have made their work easier.
Regulated industries are lagging behind
The IT, finance, and media sectors use AI on a daily basis (55–63%), while public administration and education lag significantly behind (29–34%).
Using AI safely does not mean putting the brakes on innovation. The goal is to provide a reliable framework. Companies that take this approach early on not only gain a security advantage but also a tangible productivity advantage. Because our study shows: Even among experienced users, too much of AI’s potential remains untapped.
