Santa Clara, Calif. – Fortanix, Inc., has published its State of GenAI Security by 2025 Report, pointing to how even with the blocking and restricting of AI usage by 97% of companies, 64% of employees will still use AI software using personal email. The evidence underscores the largely broadening gap in security as organizations buckle down on GenAI.
However, 95% of employees say they use AI, with 66% of respondents using AI for work anyway. Conversely, security is on the minds of 87% of organizations that suffered a data breach at some point during the last 12 months. The report clearly highlights the need to encrypt, saying that traditional security tools are outdated.
Corporate pressure to implement GenAI is mounting, with 74% of executives facing urgency to deploy AI and 88% already securing budgets. Business and IT leaders feel the most pressure, while security executives express greater caution. Concerns over model accuracy and data privacy remain top priorities, with IT leaders ranking security as a primary issue.
“The data clearly shows that nothing is going to stand in the way of organizations moving forward with GenAI deployment this year despite many organizations not fully grasping the complex data security issues surrounding the technology,” said Anuj Jaiswal, chief product officer at Fortanix.
“With Fortanix, however, organizations can deploy GenAI applications with confidence by replacing rigid, outdated practices and tools with a unified, scalable platform—built on confidential computing—that empowers them to manage encryption and key management from a single interface.”
Fortanix has emphasized that a modern security approach that safeguards against specific risks would be focused henceforth on leveraging the new Confidential Computing paradigm and central encryption management. Data security, particularly when organizations roll out AI, will, undoubtedly, remain another wholly critical hurdle.
Fortanix is at the forefront of data-first cybersecurity and is one of the first movers in Confidential Computing. Opportunities are ultimately provided by Fortanix as they replace fragmented, congealed, and outdated security with single entities, and scalable services offering advanced encryption and key management. Fortanix helps organizations protect their sensitive data, securing it across new on-premise and cloud environments, and it enables these organizations to adhere to and comply with global security regulations. Being truly recognized as a brand and innovative entity in the security of AI-driven technologies, Fortanix continues to stay far ahead in innovation.
