Handling Modern AI Threats: Inside the 2026 CSA Survey of 900 Security Leaders

More than 80% of organizations are breached by vulnerabilities they had already identified.
Shift-left strategies have matured detection but production is where incidents now land, and AI is compressing the window between vulnerability disclosure and active exploitation to hours.

Join Hillary Baron, AVP of Research at the Cloud Security Alliance and Daniel Shechter, CEO and Co-Founder of Miggo Security on June 30th, 12:00pm EST/ 9:00 PDT for a conversation about what 900+ cybersecurity leaders revealed in the 2026 State of Modern Application & AI Security Report. And what it means for how security programs need to evolve.

This webcast will cover:

• Why the "patch gap" has become the single strongest breach predictor
• How AI-powered applications in production are creating a runtime visibility blind spot
• Why shift-left investment alone is no longer reducing exposure
• Where CISOs are beginning to shift security budgets, and what's driving the change

Whether you're rethinking application security strategy, evaluating new investments, or just trying to keep pace with the AI-accelerated threat environment, this conversation will help you understand where the field is heading.

What 902 security professionals revealed

80%

suffered an incident from a known vulnerability last year

45%

of incidents involved vulns missed entirely by pre-prod controls

18%

of organizations report they have AI visbility into their AI component landscape

83%

of WAFs are not configured to automatically block application-layer attacks

Threat Reality

Minutes

Time for AI-accelerated exploits to appear after vulnerability disclosure

Today's Average

1–7 Days

How long 74% of orgs take to remediate critical vulnerabilities in production

The Goal

< 1 Hour

Miggo cuts vulnerability backlog by over 95% and mitigates over 90% of exploitable risk in under an hour

Key Findings from Report

The Patch Gap Problem

Known vulnerabilities & the patch gap are driving real-world incidents

Runtime Is the Breach Battlefield

Incidents slip past pre-production controls

AI in Production, Security in Post-Mortem

Why 82% of teams are reviewing what happened instead of preventing it in real time.

The Exploitability Bottleneck

The main bottleneck for protection is proof of exploitability

Trusted Mitigation Gap

The will to block exists but trusted mitigation is missing

Where Security Investment Is Heading

Investment intent Is turning toward runtime security

Who Should Read This

Built for the leaders managing production risk every day

Use the data to benchmark your program, justify runtime investment, and make the case internally for change.
