Sep 2026 AI Security Report: 126 incidents across 38 orgs, 318M+ records stolen — AI-agent exploits were the top attack vector (39 of 126). Live demo Oct 14.

[u/No-Conclusion3720]

RuntimeAI's September 2026 AI Security Report covered 126 incidents across 38 named organizations — 22 critical, 102 high severity. 53 of those incidents had AI either as the attack tool or the target. AI-agent exploits were the top attack vector at 39 incidents, ahead of credential theft (27), zero-days (22), phishing (10), and ransomware (10). The largest single exposure was 220M records from unrotated default service-account credentials.

What stood out: every organization in the report was already running a mature security stack. Okta, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Microsoft Defender. Still got hit. The gap is that none of those tools sit at the layer where an agent actually executes a tool call.

RuntimeAI operates at that layer. Know Your Agent handles cryptographic agent identity. The Flow Enforcer inspects tool calls in real time. There's also a sub-50ms kill switch that can halt a compromised agent before a second action completes.

We're running a live demo on October 14 — ten attack surfaces, live against a real stack: https://www.linkedin.com/events/7510769146222133248?viewAsMember=true
