IDC's 2026 Software Engineering Challenges research, spanning 1,000+ organizations, puts a hard number on the AI delivery surge: nearly half of enterprises now have more than 40% of their delivery initiatives dominated by AI, and one in three engineering leaders is under high or extreme pressure to ship faster.

This results in organizations accelerating their pipelines faster than their governance structures can follow. In regulated, production-critical environments, that gap isn't technical debt. It's an organizational liability.

In this executive panel, George Mironescu (Associate Research Director at IDC), joins JFrog experts Yuval Fernbach and Asaf Barkan to map the realistic path from AI-assisted delivery to trusted autonomous pipelines in today’s enterprise environments, where every release carries real business and compliance consequences.

What You'll Leave With:

- A maturity framework for the agentic SDLC journey, grounded in IDC's 2026 research

- A clear picture of the governance, security, and compliance gaps impeding enterprise agentic delivery maturity - and an actionable path to solve them

- A reframe of governance: not a bottleneck to autonomous delivery, but the mechanism that makes it trustworthy and verifiable at machine speed
