Legacy systems are often overlooked in AI security strategies, creating exploitable vulnerabilities. Prioritize patching and segmenting legacy infrastructure to mitigate risks and safeguard AI deployments.

Legacy infrastructure is increasingly targeted by attackers to circumvent AI security programs and hijack AI agents. This exploitation highlights a significant blind spot as organizations rapidly adopt AI technologies.

At the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit, experts emphasized the need to address vulnerabilities in legacy systems, as 71% of organizations are piloting AI agents without fully accounting for these risks.

Organizations are advised to assess their legacy infrastructure, implement robust segmentation, and apply critical patches to ensure their AI deployments are not compromised by outdated systems.
