It found 95.7% use generative AI in some form, while 84.7% say security risks are rising and 78.5% reported a generative AI-related security incident in the past year. 93.4% say endpoint measures matter more, and 69.3% call sub-OS defenses, including BIOS and firmware, important.","whyItMatters":"Respondents locate the likely start of AI-era damage at the PC and mobile device rather than the cloud, which puts endpoint, BIOS, and firmware spending on the table alongside the generative AI controls they say matter for the next two years.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eCompanies are not slow to adopt generative AI. Only a small share of the 815 surveyed have stayed out. The gap is on the other side: most report some form of AI-related security trouble in the past year, and the concern is not confined to cloud services or applications. Most respondents name PCs and mobile devices as the most feared starting point for damage, then say endpoint measures are increasingly important and that BIOS and firmware defense below the OS matters. Leakage of confidential information, unintended operations by AI agents, and compliance violations came up as specific worries. Effort to come is named as malware and ransomware countermeasures plus token management and usage control for AI agents.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Dell's own survey shows 93.4% of firms say endpoint defenses matter more while 78.5% already logged a generative AI security incident in the past year. Buying intent and incident rate are moving together.","twitterPost":"Dell's survey has 78.5% of firms reporting a generative AI security incident in the past year, yet 95.7% still use the technology.","threadsPost":"Dell asked 815 companies about AI and security and got two numbers that sit awkwardly: 95.7% use generative AI, and 78.5% reported a generative AI security incident in the past year. Sub-OS defenses like BIOS and firmware drew 69.3% support, the lowest tally in the survey.","newsletterBlurb":"Dell Technologies released survey results covering 815 companies on AI adoption and the security risks that come with it. Nearly all use generative AI somewhere, but 78.5% reported a generative AI-related security problem in the past year and 84.7% say risk is increasing. Respondents pointed to PCs and mobile devices as the most feared starting point for damage, with sub-OS defense including BIOS and firmware drawing interest.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"ASCII.jp\",\"url\":\"https://ascii.jp/elem/000/004/438/4438160/?rss\",\"title\":\"Dell Releases Survey on Rising Device Security Risks Amid Expanding AI Use, Highlighting Importance of Sub-OS Defense\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4657,"outputTokens":646,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1791159260,"createdAt":"2026-10-05T00:10:39.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-05T00:13:21.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-05T00:13:21.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_d9964a79acaabfe992adac15","canonicalTitle":"デル、AI活用拡大で高まる端末セキュリティリスクを調査発表　OS未満の防御重要性が鮮明に","representativeArticleId":"a_5676ea3f76ddcd38a1f7049c","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[],\"studios\":[],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"business\",\"domain\":\"industry\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-29T07:00:00.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-09-29T07:00:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-05T00:13:20.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"ASCII.jp","url":"https://ascii.jp/elem/000/004/438/4438160/?rss","title":"デル、AI活用拡大で高まる端末セキュリティリスクを調査発表　OS未満の防御重要性が鮮明に"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":[],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"business","domain":"industry","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null}
