The race against security debt: Are you falling behind?

Development velocity is outpacing remediation. Here is the data you need to close the gap.

Development teams are shipping code faster than ever. But are your security fixes keeping pace? Our 2026 State of Software Security (SoSS) report highlights a critical trend: the rate of flaw creation is now surpassing organizations’ capacity to remediate them. Figure 1 illustrates this widening gap. As development accelerates, unresolved vulnerabilities—your security debt—are compounding. It’s no longer enough to just find flaws; rapid, efficient remediation is essential to minimize risk.     Scanning alone isn’t enough. To stay resilient, organizations must shift their focus from detection to automated, AI-driven remediation.         Don’t let security debt stall your innovation.       Read the Full Report     See how Veracode helps you fix flaws fast and stay ahead of the curve.           36 Queen Street London, EC4R 1BN United Kingdom     emea@veracode.com      +44 (0)20 3761 5501 © 2026 Veracode Inc.
