The survey covered 297 security leaders between March and May 2026. Another 36 percent said attackers used AI-generated video calls against them. Seventy-nine percent reported phishing or business email compromise powered by AI. Fifty-eight percent faced AI-driven vishing and smishing attacks. Gartner analyst Craig Porter said attackers are using AI to scale old scams. The report lists three actions for security teams. They should train staff to verify identities on calls, tighten payment approval steps, and deploy AI-based detection tools.
