New study highlights rising threat of AI-enhanced security attacks

ong , a leading developer of cloud API technologies , has released findings from its Security Perspectives 2025 :

K

AI-enhanced Threats and API Security Report which highlights today ’ s API security landscape and how new developments in AI will impact it .
Most notably , 25 % of respondents have encountered AI-enhanced security threats related to APIs or LLMs , with 75 % of respondents expressing serious concern about AI-enhanced attacks in the future . And while 85 % say they ’ re confident in their organisation ’ s security capabilities , 55 % of respondents cited they ’ ve experienced an API security incident in the past year , highlighting a notable disconnect .
“ Organisations cannot afford to underestimate their own security risks – especially in the age of AI ,” said Marco Palladino , CTO and Co-Founder of Kong .
“ The report showcases that API security is being taken seriously as part of overall cybersecurity strategy , but there are still some blind spots that can open an organisation up to threats .”
The findings also put into perspective the importance of having a strong security strategy noting that one in five respondents cited their organisation has experienced an API security incident costing more than US $ 500,000 in the past 12 months .
While 92 % of respondents say they are taking measures to counter AI-enhanced attacks and 88 % of respondents citing API security as a top priority , it is clear that many organisations lack the comprehensive security measures needed to protect their API infrastructure in the AI era .

Nokia and Turkcell demonstrate industry leading quantum-safe protection for mobile subscribers

okia and Turkcell have successfully demonstrated a worldfirst ability to implement quantum-safe IPsec network

N cryptography for its mobile subscribers . This marks a critical step in securing mobile networks against future threats posed by quantum computing .

By leveraging the latest cryptographic standards , Nokia and Turkcell are proactively addressing the evolving landscape of network security and ensuring the resilience of mobile communications well into the future .
The introduction of quantum computing threatens traditional cryptography methods , potentially making them vulnerable to powerful quantum attacks capable of breaking conventional cryptographic protections . As quantum computers continue to advance , it is vital that networks evolve to counteract these risks .
The successful integration of quantum-safe IPsec cryptography into Turkcell ’ s mobile transport network as part of a defence-in-depth crypto-resilient approach sets a new benchmark for network security . The demonstration was conducted with Nokia ’ s globally deployed IPsec Security Gateway to secure critical data in the face of evolving quantum threats .
By implementing advanced cryptography techniques now , both Nokia and Turkcell are ensuring their networks are secure today while also preparing for future advancements in technology . For end-users , this means continued confidence in the security of their mobile communications . They can be assured that their data will remain protected not just in the present but also as the landscape of technology evolves over time .
