Businesses are overwhelmingly concerned about the security threats of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly Generative AI, as revealed by the 2025 Thales Data Threat Report.
The report, based on a survey of over 3,100 IT and security professionals, highlighted that nearly 70% of organizations see the rapid advancement of AI as their biggest security risk.
Despite these concerns, businesses are accelerating their adoption of AI, with a third of them actively integrating GenAI into operations, even without ensuring full security of their systems.
Spending on GenAI has become a top priority for organizations, followed closely by cloud security, as the fast-evolving GenAI landscape pushes enterprises to deploy AI faster than they can fully understand its implications.
