Palo Alto unveils AI cybersecurity innovations

ARTIFICIAL intelligence is quickly transforming the cybersecurity landscape in the Philippines. At the Palo Alto Networks Ignite on Tour event, the theme ‘Cybersecurity for the AI Era’ took center stage. Industry partners, customers and cybersecurity experts came together ‘to discuss the increasing impact of artificial intelligence on the cybersecurity landscape alongside evolving threat tactics in the Philippines.’

As one of Asean’s fastest-growing digital economies, the Philippines is particularly vulnerable to emerging cyberthreats like ransomware and AI-driven attacks. Palo Alto Networks’ data analysis reveals that the manufacturing industry across Asean is the most targeted for ransomware attacks, primarily due to difficulties maintaining complete system visibility and robust network monitoring. Based on Palo Alto Networks’ State of OT Security report, 76.5 percent of organizations using operations technology systems reported attacks over the last year in the Philippines, and 70.6 percent expressed concern about AI-enabled threats.
