Arnica Included in The Forrester Agentic Development Security Tools Landscape, Q2 2026

Development teams are increasingly relying on AI coding assistants and autonomous agents to generate, review, and modify code at scale.  

As adoption accelerates, organizations are realizing that traditional application security approaches were not designed for AI-driven development workflows.

That’s why we’re excited to share that Arnica has been included in The Forrester Agentic Development Security Tools Landscape, Q2 2026, a report focused on the emerging category of security solutions built for AI-powered software development.

Why Agentic Development Security Matters

AI-generated code introduces new challenges for security and engineering teams. Development is moving faster, code volume is increasing, and organizations need better ways to govern both human and AI-generated contributions across the SDLC.

Security teams now need visibility into questions like:

• Who or what generated a code change?
• Are AI assistants introducing insecure patterns or risky dependencies?
• How do organizations enforce guardrails without slowing down releases?
• How can teams maintain continuous visibility across repositories and pull requests?

These challenges require a new approach to application security. Instead of relying only on downstream scanning, organizations need security controls embedded directly into development workflows.

The Shift Toward AI-Native AppSec

We believe Agentic Development Security Tools will become a foundational part of modern software development. As AI coding assistants become standard across engineering organizations, security needs to operate in real time and at developer speed.

Arnica is the only platform that governs AI-generated code at the point of generation without dependency on MCP or CLI, enforcing security rules inside Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code before a single line is committed.  

Arnica's AI SAST reads for meaning and intent, catching security risks that pattern-based tools structurally cannot see. Pipelineless architecture delivers 100% repository coverage from day one, without CI/CD changes or IDE plugins, making ours the only approach that works in a world where AI agents have no IDE.

At Arnica, we’ve focused on building agentic and developer-native security that integrates directly into how modern teams work.  

Looking Ahead

We’re honored to be included in The Forrester Agentic Development Security Tools Landscape and excited to see growing industry recognition around the need for AI-native application security.

As AI becomes a permanent part of the software development lifecycle, organizations will need security platforms that can provide continuous governance without slowing innovation.
