Businesses face challenges from the expanding use of point products, leading to operational inefficiencies, increased complexity, and security vulnerabilities. To address this, companies are transitioning to platform-based approaches. A multi-modal testing strategy is recommended to manage the increasing number and complexity of vulnerabilities, enabling the identification and mitigation of risks throughout the software development lifecycle. A May 2025 survey by PWC indicates that 79% of companies have adopted AI, with only 2% not considering agentic AI, despite governance concerns. Research into AI's potential risks includes the development of AI models, such as Google's VaultGemma, designed to prevent data leakage during training.
