Application Security Market: 2026-2031

Application Security (AppSec) is increasingly being integrated directly into Development and Operations (DevOps) workflows rather than managed as a separate, late-stage testing activity. Organisations want security controls that operate across the software lifecycle; from code creation and dependency selection through CI/CD, cloud deployment and runtime monitoring. This is increasing demand for platforms that connect development, security and operations data, and help teams prioritise vulnerabilities according to exploitability, business impact, and production context.
