Markets.Businessinsider CISOs Under Pressure to Delay Security Compliance Amid AI Code Risks
Article Content
- •95% of CISOs report pressure to delay security compliance due to business demands.
- •Only 18% of developers apply security measures continuously while coding with AI.
- •75% of organizations knowingly deploy vulnerable code, increasing risk exposure.
A recent report reveals that 95% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) feel pressured to suppress or delay compliance-related security issues due to business deadlines. The 2026 Future of Application Security Report from Checkmarx indicates that while nearly all developers utilize AI for coding, only 18% secure their code continuously. Organizations with high levels of AI-generated code are significantly more likely to ship software with known vulnerabilities, with 75% of firms admitting to deploying vulnerable code. The report emphasizes the urgent need for a new security model that combines deterministic precision with AI-augmented reasoning. The findings will be discussed at the upcoming Agentic AppSec Unleashed 2026 summit on June 16, 2026.
