Abnormal AI survey: most security teams cannot yet baseline normal AI agent behavior
A Abnormal AI 2026 State of Behavioral Security Report, based on a survey of 525 security professionals, finds that AI agents are the top planned investment for behavioral monitoring, chosen by 43% of respondents over the next two years. Nearly half of respondents (46%) said their organizations are not at all effective at establishing baselines for normal AI agent behavior, while about two in five rated themselves very or extremely effective (businesswire.com via finance.yahoo.com). Over 81% rely on behavioral anomaly detection to a major or extensive degree, and about 72% said they detect unusual non-human identity behavior better than human behavior. Baseline coverage is lower for AI agents, API integrations and service accounts, at roughly half each, compared with 76.2% for user sign-ins. Just over half of respondents said investigations from anomaly detection to remediation take at least four hours, and false positives and difficulty defining normal activity are the main obstacles. This is a vendor-commissioned survey with no reported exploitation, vulnerability or threat actor, so the risk is operational rather than an active threat.
