While most cybersecurity companies pour resources into AI models, massive compute, hoovering up all the data, and enhanced analytics to detect and prevent threats, Frenetik, a Maryland cyber startup, is betting on something simpler: making sure attackers don't know what defenders know.

The 2025 State of AI Data Security Report reveals a widening contradiction in enterprise security: AI adoption is nearly universal, yet oversight remains limited.

Produced by Cybersecurity Insiders with research support from Cyera Research Labs, the study reflects responses from 921 cybersecurity and IT professionals across industries and organization sizes.
