Risk, Readiness, and Governance: The State of Enterprise Bot Readiness in 2026

AI-driven bots now account for 17 - 51% of all enterprise traffic, and that share is growing. So why do so many organizations feel unprepared?

In a global survey of 300 enterprise IT and security leaders, nearly four in five organizations are confident they can detect bot activity. Yet only 23% have a proactive strategy in place to manage it. That 56-point gap between perceived readiness and actual capability is not a technology problem. It is a visibility problem rooted in the infrastructure teams use to collect, store, and analyze log data at scale.

In this webinar, you'll be the first to get the findings as our report is being released today. The 2026 AI Bots: Risk, Readiness, and Governance report explores what the readiness gap actually looks like in practice, why traditional log management approaches break down at bot scale, and what it takes to move from reactive detection to real operational control.

Attendees will leave with a clear picture of where enterprise bot management stands today, a framework for evaluating their own readiness against the research findings, and practical guidance on the log infrastructure changes that make meaningful bot visibility possible.

Attendees will also receive access to our companion resource, the DZone Refcard on Log Management, updated with Hydrolix to reflect modern architectures built for internet-scale traffic.
