Akamai's 22 September State of the Internet report, 'Speed, Scale, and Nonhuman Identity: The Agentic Threat Landscape', argues that enterprise security has to move from identity management to behavioral governance of nonhuman actors. It finds that more than 40% of enterprise users have installed AI browser extensions, 25% of which altered their permissions within 12 months, and that more than 6% of chatbot conversations contain sensitive data. The source is vendor research, but the extension permission-drift number is concrete enough to use in an audit.
