The State of Cloud and AI Security 2025
Uncover critical insights into the industry's evolving knowledge, attitudes and opinions on cloud and AI security trends.
This survey, commissioned by Tenable and conducted in collaboration with CSA, was designed to address everything from identity and infrastructure protection to leadership alignment and the emerging role of AI in cloud workloads. The goal is to uncover how organizations are adapting their strategies, prioritizing risk and measuring progress in a rapidly shifting threat landscape.
Core objectives:
- Evolving Security Response – Understand how organizations are adapting to dynamic risks in cloud, multi-cloud and hybrid architectures.
- Securing the Cloud Stack – Explore how infrastructure, workloads, identities and data are being protected in modern environments
- Risk & Barriers – Identify the leading threats, barriers to adoption and strategic priorities shaping security programs.
- Leadership Alignment – Examine how teams measure, track and communicate cloud security KPIs to business leaders.
- AI in Focus – Assess the state of AI adoption in cloud environments and uncover how AI systems, workloads and data are being secured.

Summary of key findings
Hybrid and multi-cloud architectures have become the standard for most organizations, with 82% operating hybrid environments and 63% using multiple cloud providers. At the same time, AI adoption is accelerating, with over half of organizations deploying AI for business needs—and 34% of those with AI workloads already experiencing breaches. Yet AI security strategies have not kept pace, leaving teams reactive and fragmented.
This survey revealed some critical insights, including:
- Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Dominate
- Identity Risks Lead But Remain Under-Managed
- AI Adoption Outpaces Security Readiness
Security maturity depends on strategic alignment and risk-driven planning.
