MANILA, Philippines, 23 July 2025 \u2014<\/strong> Palo Alto Networks, the world’s leading AI cybersecurity company, released its State of Generative AI 2025 report, which reveals a staggering 890% surge in Generative AI (GenAI) traffic in 2024<\/strong> driven by the rapid adoption of GenAI tools in enterprise environments. While AI growth offers significant productivity benefits, the report warns that unsanctioned usage, emerging threats, and a lack of governance have rapidly expanded the attack surface for organizations, particularly across the Asia-Pacific and Japan region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enterprises have been quick to embrace GenAI for use cases ranging from writing assistants and coding platforms to customer support and enterprise search. However, this widespread adoption is outpacing many organizations\u2019 ability to implement appropriate security controls. On average, organizations are now managing 66 GenAI applications in their environments, with 10% classified as high-risk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Philippines, AI has been gaining momentum as a transformative force across both public and private sectors. The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) <\/a>plans to invest over \u20b12.6 billion in AI projects by 2028, targeting sectors such as healthcare, mobility, environment, disaster risk reduction, and emerging technology platforms. These initiatives aim to advance AI-driven innovations across critical sectors. DOST quests to optimize the power of AI to strengthen the delivery of public service, improve crisis response capabilities, promote sustainable development, and amplify the country\u2019s position in the global digital economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAI adoption offers transformative opportunities across both commercial and government sectors in the region. But as this report highlights, we are also seeing an expanding attack surface, particularly with the use of high-risk GenAI applications in critical infrastructure sectors,\u201d said Tom Scully, Director and Principal Architect for Government and Critical Industries, Asia Pacific & Japan, at Palo Alto Networks<\/strong>. \u201cOrganizations must balance innovation with strong governance, adopting security architectures that account for AI\u2019s unique risks. From shadow AI and data leakage to the more complex threats posed by agentic AI models. Proactive oversight and adaptive security controls are essential to ensuring that the benefits of AI are fully realized without compromising national security, public trust, or operational integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 State of GenAI report, based on traffic analysis from 7,051 global enterprise customers, provides an in-depth look into how enterprises are adopting GenAI and where they remain most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
