Analysis of 216M Security Findings Shows a 4x Increase In Critical Risk (2026 Report)

OX Security's analysis of 216 million security findings across 250 organizations reveals a alarming 400% increase in prioritized critical risk over a 90-day period, despite alert volume growing only 52% year-over-year. The research identifies AI-assisted development as a key driver creating a 'velocity gap,' where the density of high-impact vulnerabilities is scaling faster than organizations' ability to address them. This trend indicates that security teams are facing unprecedented challenges in prioritizing and remediating vulnerabilities as development cycles accelerate. Organizations must urgently re-evaluate their vulnerability management strategies and invest in automated remediation capabilities to close this expanding gap before critical vulnerabilities are exploited.

OX Security recently analyzed 216 million security findings across 250 organizations over a 90-day period. The primary takeaway: while raw alert volume grew by 52% year-over-year, prioritized critical risk grew by nearly 400%.
