Application security teams are trapped in a cycle of inefficiency, where advanced detection tools yield unhelpful alerts. OX Security's 2025 benchmark report reveals that 95-98% of AppSec alerts are needless, creating issues rather than solving them. The research shows that on average, only 0.04% of alerts indicate genuine threats. As vulnerabilities proliferate, existing tools have not adapted, leading to alert fatigue among teams. This situation hampers communication with developers and obstructs innovation, calling for a reevaluation of how security is integrated into the development process.
For over a decade, application security teams have faced a brutal irony: the more advanced the detection tools became, the less useful their results proved to be.
According to OX Security's 2025 Application Security Benchmark Report, 95-98% of AppSec alerts do not require action - harming organizations more than helping.
Security teams are chasing shadows, wasting time, burning through budgets, and straining relations with developers over vulnerabilities that pose no real threat.
Many AppSec tools have failed to evolve: they've doubled down on detection, flooding dashboards with unfiltered, context-free alerts.
