Check Point (NASDAQ: CHKP) released its Annual AI Security Report 2026, highlighting that artificial intelligence has shifted from assisting cybercriminals to autonomously operating attacks.

Malicious prompt-injection payload detections rose roughly fivefold between March and May 2026, and high-risk enterprise AI prompts doubled, from about 1 in 50 interactions to 1 in 25. Between 87% and 93% of organizations now see at least one high-risk AI interaction monthly.
