2026 Latio Application Security Report

We met with over one hundred application security providers, practitioners, and buyers, to accurately map the past, present, and future of application security into an industry defining report.

This report is for teams building their application security programs and looking to understand the latest developments in application security. It’s also for product builders, marketers, founders, and investors looking to deepen their understanding of the current state of the application security market.

In this report, we argue:

•  That application security is a discipline in crisis, as AI rapidly changes scanner capabilities and developer workflows
• The present solutions landscape offers a variety of approaches to scanner consolidation and workflows
• The silent death of ASPM as a standalone management category in favor of broader CTEM platforms with code to cloud capabilities
• There are presently varied approaches to securing AI generated code.

We’ll be sharing various snippets of the report and what they mean for the market from Latio’s page, so follow along for updates. Thank you so much for your continued support of Latio and our hands on keyboard approach to research!
