The real-world impact of AI in security

AI is enabling us to produce code and automate processes faster than we’ve ever dreamed, but it’s also assisting bad actors and generating unique threats to software security.
53% of respondents' code is now AI-generated or AI-assisted
Over half of teams are already using AI for detection, but data privacy and integration concerns block progress
AI is improving outcomes and introducing new concerns in equal measure

Aligning quality and security

Releasing software faster while also reducing risk feels like an impossible balance, but it isn’t. The secret lies in aligning quality and security and building integrated quality operations.
32% of teams have low confidence in scaling QA and security together
Siloed teams, conflicting priorities, and late security involvement are holding teams back
Despite challenges, over 90% of teams see value in aligning quality and security

Teams, tools, and KPIs

While much has changed, some things stay the same: security teams are still trying to remediate vulnerabilities faster, keep up with evolving threats, and do more with fewer resources
Data breaches, cloud misconfigurations, and AI-related threats are top three priorities
Resource constraints, complex architecture, and DevOps integration are biggest challenges
Only half of security professionals are satisfied with their current processes
