40% of enterprises will decommission AI agents by 2027. Only 13% feel prepared. NeuralTrust just raised $20M because your CISO has no idea what's running.

Gartner just predicted 40% of enterprises will demote or decommission autonomous AI agents by 2027.

Not because the agents failed.

Because governance gaps were only discovered after production incidents.

Here's the number that should terrify you: only 13% of firms feel prepared to manage the agents they're already deploying.

Fortune 500 companies are projected to operate more than 150,000 agents each by 2028.

Your CISO doesn't know what half of them are doing.

NeuralTrust just raised $20M — the largest cybersecurity seed round by an EU company — because the security perimeter no longer ends at your network boundary.

It ends at every agent that calls an LLM, touches a database, or processes external content.

Their platform spans three layers: an agent gateway that brokers every LLM and tool call, a runtime security engine that detects threats across every endpoint, and a posture management layer that identifies every agent inside and outside your environment.

92% of their customers report annual revenues above $1B. Airlines. Banks. Energy companies. Government agencies.

They're all facing the same problem: agents don't run in one place. They span platforms and endpoints. Security fragmentation grows with every new deployment.

Audit your agent inventory today. If you can't list every AI agent running in your production environment, who built it, what data it accesses, and what permissions it has — you're already compromised. You just don't know it yet.

VERIFIED: AI Insider, PR Newswire, NeuralTrust official announcement

SIGNAL: Enterprise AI agent adoption is outpacing security governance by orders of magnitude. The companies that figure out agent-level access control and runtime monitoring first will survive the inevitable wave of agent-related breaches. Everyone else will be explaining to their board why an AI agent they didn't know existed just exfiltrated customer data.
