Is Your Security Program Ready for AI-Speed Application Exploitation?

The report warns that public-facing application and API exploitation is now the most common initial access path—driven by a 44% year-over-year increase and the fact that 56% of disclosed vulnerabilities require no authentication—and that AI accelerates reconnaissance and exploit development. It recommends a modern AppSec operating model centered on continuous discovery, runtime validation, business-risk prioritization, integrated remediation workflows, and coverage of AI-enabled application surfaces.
