Survey Finds AI Adoption Outpacing Security Readiness
Security Boulevard, Thursday, July 10th, 2025
As organizations continue to deploy AI, security professionals find themselves confronting critical gaps in their level of preparedness, according to F5's 2025 State of AI Application Strategy Report.
The survey also found that 96% of organizations are actively deploying AI models currently. Yet, only 2% of those organizations qualify as what F5 defines as 'highly ready' to secure and scale these systems - a fact many experts agree will come back to haunt organizations later.
The vast majority of organizations - 77% - are only moderately ready for AI, and 21% are classified as low readiness. This gap exposes enterprises to new and evolving risks that traditional security frameworks are not equipped to address.
