Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, has released the 2025 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report, which found that threat actors are now evolving their tactics, moving beyond traditional ransomware and data theft to focus on business disruption, AI-assisted attacks, and insider threats. According to the report, almost half of the security incidents (44%) involved a web browser.
In the Philippines, industry players are taking a more proactive approach to building a security framework for digital resilience. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) reports that government agencies, academic institutions, and telecommunications companies remain prime targets for cyber criminals, with 10% of attacks targeted at the banking and healthcare sectors.
