AI agents are surging, yet 79% of firms lack security policies. Discover why legacy IAM fails and how Ory’s architecture secures the Internet of Agents.

We’ve officially moved beyond chatbots that just "chat." We are entering the era of Agentic AI: autonomous, goal-oriented software entities or agents that can process complex information, make independent decisions, and execute multi-step tasks across your enterprise systems with the promise of productivity gains for all users.
But there is a growing storm on the horizon. A new 2025 EMA Survey, conducted on behalf of Ory, reveals a massive gap between how fast companies are adopting these "AI coworkers" and “AI virtual assistant” without properly securing them.
The survey, which captured insights from over 270 IT and security professionals globally, confirms that agentic AI is already a production reality. However, the "security gap" is staggering:
Organizations are deploying autonomous entities without the fundamental identity infrastructure or documented policies required to manage their access and behavior at scale.
While 66% of organizations rely on human oversight as a safeguard, this creates a false sense of security. In reality, an agent’s actions often exceed the speed and scope of human oversight mechanisms, leaving a window open for privilege escalation and lateral movement.
To close the security gap, EMA recommends a fundamental shift: AI agents must be treated as first-class digital citizens, managed with the same, or greater, rigor than human users.
Current legacy architectures weren't engineered for the "Internet of Agents". Ory provides the modern foundation needed for this AI-driven world.
By offering a transparent, modular architecture, Ory enables companies to:
