AI Security Findings Are Growing Faster Than Teams Can Fix Them
In 2025, enterprises face a paradox: while cybersecurity programmes are becoming more advanced, the number of AI-related vulnerabilities and misconfigurations is rising even faster — meaning security teams are increasingly finding more than they can fix.
The challenge
According to the report by HackerOne, valid AI-related vulnerability reports surged 210 % year-on-year, even as the number of researchers focused on AI/ML assets only doubled.
This imbalance creates a backlog of unresolved issues — and each unpatched AI integration, model API or misconfigured data pipeline becomes a potential exploit point.
Several key issues contribute:
New attack surface: As organisations embed AI across product, operations and customer experience, each model, API or data flow introduces fresh exposure. Traditional cybersecurity workflows struggle to keep up.

Skill & resource gap: 38 % of organisations say they don’t have in-house resources to manage AI risk; a third are unsure they have the right skills.
Poor visibility: A study by Bedrock Security found 82 % of security professionals report visibility gaps into their data across production/cloud environments — a serious problem when AI runs on those assets.

Processes not scaling: Manual triage and ticketing workflows cannot match the velocity of findings; security teams are burning out.

The real-world risks
Unresolved AI findings can lead to prompt injection, model manipulation, data leakage, API abuse and chain-exploitation where AI systems become the pivot. The backlog isn’t just a queue—it means increased exposure.
What can be done
Organisations must evolve their security posture for AI:
Build continuous testing for AI/ML assets, embed security into the model lifecycle.
Use automation & AI in triage: filter duplicates, prioritise urgent risks, free human teams for high-impact work.
Improve visibility: asset inventory, data flows, model endpoints—all must be tracked.
Grow skillsets: red-teaming AI, understanding ML attack vectors, adversarial testing.
