Gartner® Hype Cycle for Application Security, 2025

As AI-generated code becomes the norm without the CISO’s ability to govern it, organizations must rethink how they manage software risk at scale. 

Apiiro is proud to be featured in this latest report from Gartner highlighting application security changes, including the rise of secure code assistants and intelligent supply chain security technologies Gartner identifies as “transformational”.

Why It Matters

Gartner predicts that 75% of enterprise developers will use AI coding assistants by 2028, and over 50% of AI-generated code today contains vulnerabilities or compliance risks. 

The industry is now grappling with how to maintain trust and control in this new era. 

According to the report, AI-based auto-remediation is gaining traction — with 40% of organizations expected to rely on their application security testing vendors for it by 2026. It’s a clear signal that intelligent automation is becoming a cornerstone of modern AppSec.
