AI has moved beyond theory and hype into real-world security programs, influencing how teams detect, respond, and prepare for threats. Still, adoption is uneven, and many organizations are struggling to keep pace.
The SANS 2025 AI Security Survey: Measuring AI’s Impact on Security Three Years Later reveals how security leaders are using AI today, where false positives and governance gaps create risk, and what’s next for incident response, AppSec, and red teaming.
Based on responses from hundreds of global security practitioners and leaders across industries, the survey provides a trusted snapshot of how organizations are adopting AI: what’s working, where risks remain, and how peers are preparing for the future.
Whether you are guiding strategy at the executive level or defending against threats on the frontlines, this report delivers benchmarks, blind spots, and opportunities to inform your AI adoption roadmap.
