99% of organizations have experienced an attack against AI apps and services in the past year; Security teams can’t keep pace with the surging volume of insecure code

Dubai, United Arab Emirates., December 23, 2025 — The rapid adoption of enterprise AI is fueling an unprecedented surge in cloud security risks. To help organizations understand and combat escalating threats, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today released its annual “State of Cloud Security Report 2025,” exposing how AI is driving a massive expansion of the cloud attack surface.

2023 Unit 42 Attack Surface Threat Report highlights the Need for ASM

Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 illuminates some of the riskiest security observations around attack surface management (ASM) with the 2023 Unit 42 Attack Surface Threat Report. The report contrasts the dynamic nature of cloud environments with the speed at which threat actors are exploiting new vulnerabilities. It found that cybercriminals are exploiting new vulnerabilities within hours of public disclosure. Quite simply, organizations are finding it difficult to manage their attack surfaces at a speed and scale necessary to combat threat actor automation.
