92% of Developers Use AI to Write Code. 9% Secure It.
92% of US developers now use AI coding tools daily, with 46% of new code AI-generated (projected 60% by end of 2026). Yet only 9% of organizations treat AI AppSec as a must-have capability. The 9.4x ratio between adoption and security creates a recursive security debt loop: AI generates vulnerable code (CVE attribution to AI-generated code rose 6x in three months, from 6 in January to 35 in March), while Claude Mythos's exploit-finding capability remains restricted to 52 Glasswing consortium partners. The 85% adoption vs 9% AI-aware security gap means vulnerabilities accumulate structurally faster than remediation can handle.
