Akamai Survey Reveals AI Adoption Outpacing Security Readiness Among Enterprises in India

You rushed to adopt AI. But did anyone stop to ask if your data was protected first?

Most business owners I talk to are focused on the "what AI tool should I buy" question. Completely understandable — the pressure to keep up is real.

But a recent Akamai survey found that AI adoption is outpacing security readiness across enterprises. Translation: companies are plugging in AI tools before they've thought through what those tools can access, store, or expose.

This isn't a reason to slow down on AI. It's actually a reason to get smarter about your starting point.

The businesses winning with AI right now aren't necessarily the fastest movers. They're the ones who asked one simple question before buying anything: "What data does this tool touch, and who can see it?"

That question alone filters out half the bad decisions.

Before your next AI tool demo, ask the vendor three things: Where is our data stored? Who has access to it? Can we delete it if we cancel?

If they stumble on those answers, you've saved yourself a future headache — and probably a lot more than $200 a month.

Have you ever felt like a vendor glossed over the security side when selling you on their AI solution?
