New research reveals AI is fueling an 'unprecedented surge in cloud security risks'

A hand reaching out to touch a futuristic rendering of an AI processor.

• Palo Alto warns rapid AI adoption expands cloud attack surfaces, raising unprecedented security risks
• Excessive permissions and misconfigurations drive incidents; 80% tied to identity issues, not malware
• Non‑human identities outnumber humans, poorly managed, creating exploitable entry points for adversaries

Rapid enterprise adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, and cloud-native AI services, is significantly expanding cloud attack surfaces and putting businesses at more risk than ever before.
