"Mitch Ashley, vice president and practice lead for software lifecycle engineering for the Futurum Group, said the survey results suggest more organizations are starting to appreciate how much the actual velocity at which software is successfully built and deployed now depends on how well security is encoded into workflows, APIs, and, ultimately, artificial intelligence (AI) agents. In general, guardrails are replacing gates as security policies are becoming executable, enforced continuously by pipelines, platforms, and increasingly AI agents, said Ashley."
"Unfortunately, the volume of code being generated in the age of AI only continues to exponentially increase, with much of that code containing known vulnerabilities that were not discovered, if at all, until just before code is promoted into a staging server. A full 60% of respondents said their organization is now actively using AI to build and deploy software, the survey finds."
Well over a third of 828 enterprise IT professionals expect their organizations to increase spending on software security testing (39%) and API security (36%) over the next 12 to 18 months. About 35% plan investments in application security. Organizations increasingly recognize that software delivery velocity depends on encoding security into workflows, APIs, and AI agents. Guardrails are replacing gates as security policies become executable and continuously enforced by pipelines, platforms, and AI agents, enabling fewer late-stage surprises, less rework, and more predictable delivery. Sixty percent of organizations are now actively using AI to build and deploy software, increasing vulnerable code volume and remediation workload.
