Constellation Research RSAC Analysis: Enterprise Agent Trust Gap Quantified — 85% Testing AI Agents, Only 5% in Production

Constellation Research·medium signal

Constellation Research's RSAC 2026 analysis published March 23 highlights Cisco's Cyber Threat Trends Report finding that 85% of enterprises are testing AI agents but only 5% have moved them to production, framing the primary adoption bottleneck as a 'very wide trust gap' rather than a technology limitation. Six RSAC vendors launched competing 'MCP governance' solutions in the same week, but the analysis questions whether these offerings provide protocol-level inspection depth versus basic inventory scanning. The piece frames DefenseClaw's approach — making agent security 'provable instead of probable' — as the benchmark for closing this gap.
