2026 Dzone Security Trend Report

81% of large enterprises already run AI agents in production — yet secrets exposure and unvalidated dependencies remain their biggest security gap. This report explores why independent verification has become the prerequisite for safe AI adoption.

What's inside

  • Why traditional code review no longer scales at agent speed
  • Sonar's AC/DC framework: Guide, Generate, Verify, Solve
  • How to close the verification gap before CI ever fires
  • Research from global developers on data-centric security strategies
