The 2026 Future of Application Security Report uncovered that 96% of organizations now use AI in their applications, and AI writes nearly half of all new code. But 75% of organizations still knowingly ship vulnerable code. Last year, the number of vulnerabilities found jumped up 76%, while the number actually fixed dropped by 46%. This is the gap driving the ECB’s mandate. It’s also the same gap the AI APMA is built to measure.
