The Hidden Cost of AI: How Security Debt is Putting Enterprises at Risk

Artificial intelligence is transforming how organisations innovate but it’s also accelerating a growing and often overlooked risk: security debt. As organisations adopt AI at scale, many are unknowingly accumulating a backlog of unpatched vulnerabilities, insecure code, and unmonitored AI tools that silently expand their attack surface.

From insecure outputs generated by AI coding assistants, to data leakage from “shadow AI” and vulnerable third-party integrations, security debt is compounding faster than many organisations can contain it. Without oversight, this debt can lead to breaches, downtime, compliance failures, and long-term financial loss.

Join intelligence experts from Recorded Future to learn:

• How rapid AI adoption is driving new layers of enterprise security debt
• Why shadow AI and third-party dependencies are creating new risk blind spots
• The real-world implications of AI-driven vulnerabilities
• How governance and AI-aware DevSecOps can turn AI into a defensive asset
