ESG Report: Automating Risk Reduction in the AI Era

ESG Report: Automating Risk Reduction in the AI Era

About this Report

Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), now part of Omdia, surveyed 400 security and IT leaders to understand how AI and automation are reshaping threat and exposure management. The findings show how organizations are modernizing their approach to risk reduction and remediation across hybrid and cloud environments.

  • 26% of organizations still rely on traditional CVSS or basic vulnerability scoring systems.
  • 65% have seen significant improvement in mean time to remediate (MTTR) using agentic AI.
  • 77% improved mean time to detect (MTTD) exposures.

These data points illustrate how AI-driven approaches can accelerate the entire exposure management lifecycle, turning findings into fixes faster and helping security teams shrink their exposure window.

The report also explores the barriers to adoption, including trust, visibility, and accountability, that are shaping how organizations scale AI responsibly in their security programs.

Download the full report to see how leading teams are adopting agentic AI to prioritize what matters and close the gap between detection and action.
