AI in Cybersecurity: The AI vs AI Arms Race Reshaping Security in 2026
Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity at every level. As attackers use AI to automate phishing, fraud and exploit development, defenders are deploying AI agents, runtime security and autonomous detection to keep pace. Featuring insights from cybersecurity founders across Bolster AI, Ocean, AppViewX and Secure Agentics, this article explores the biggest AI cybersecurity trends of 2026, how AI is changing cyber defence, and why cybersecurity hiring is shifting towards AI security engineers and AI-native security teams.
AI Application Security: Why AppSec Isn't Dead in the AI Coding Era
AI coding assistants haven't killed application security; they've fundamentally changed it. As AI-generated code accelerates software development, cybersecurity startups are rethinking AppSec, secure software development, and DevSecOps for an era of continuous code generation. Drawing on insights from founders at DryRun Security, Escape, and Clearly AI, this article explores why modern application security now depends on low-noise, AI-aware security tooling, faster security reviews, and engineers who can secure AI-assisted development at scale. Discover how the next generation of AppSec companies are hiring to meet the demands of the AI coding era.
