Application security is shifting fast. AI-generated code, platform consolidation, reachability, runtime context — the rules of evaluation are changing.

The 2026 Latio Application Security Market Report breaks down what’s driving the next phase of AppSec and what security leaders should prioritize now. ‍

In this report, you’ll learn:

• Why AI-driven SAST and AI pentesting are redefining detection capabilities
• How ASPM is evolving into broader vulnerability and exposure management
• Why developer experience and false positive reduction now outweigh raw finding volume
• How reachability and runtime context are reshaping prioritization
• What modern buyers should focus on when evaluating AppSec platforms
  

Whether you’re modernizing legacy tooling, consolidating scanners, or preparing for AI-driven development workflows, this report provides clear guidance for building a scalable, future-ready AppSec program.
