Cycode-State-Of-Product-Security-2026.md

Cycode's 2026 State of Product Security report presents survey-driven findings showing near-universal adoption of AI coding assistants and AI-generated code, significant visibility and governance gaps (only 19% report full AI visibility; 52% lack centralized governance), widespread shadow AI and tool sprawl expanding the attack surface, and a push toward consolidating AppSec tools and converging AST, supply chain security, and ASPM to manage AI-era risk; the report frames product security as critical for balancing speed and safety and lists priorities and KPIs for the coming year.
