Harness adds AI security tools for vulnerability response
Harness said it has added AI SAST, agentic triage and remediation, a Zero-Day Agent and virtual patching to its platform.
Harness said on Aug. 19 that it has added AI-driven security capabilities to its platform, including AI SAST, agentic triage and remediation, a dedicated Zero-Day Agent and virtual patching.
The San Francisco-based company said the tools are intended to help security teams scan, prioritize and ship fixes without waiting on slower, disconnected processes. Harness said the launch responds to a gap between attackers and defenders.
In the release, Harness said frontier AI models are helping attackers find and chain vulnerabilities faster, with disclosure-to-first-exploit taking as little as six hours. It also said the average vulnerability still takes more than 50 days to fix.
The company said Project Glasswing partners have surfaced roughly 10 times more vulnerabilities using LLM-based scanning, which can add backlog if teams cannot respond quickly. Harness said every agent in the launch is built on the same reachability data.
Rahul Sood, general manager of application security at Harness, said the same AI models helping customers ship software faster are also helping attackers find and exploit vulnerabilities faster. He said security should be built into the delivery pipeline so scanning, prioritization, remediation and deployment move together.
Sood also said the time between finding a vulnerability and fixing and deploying it can shrink from weeks to hours without adding headcount or a new tool.
Harness said the new tools are available now as part of its platform. The company said the announcement follows the July 21 launch of Agent DLC, which it said brought governance and chain of custody to AI coding agents across the software delivery lifecycle. It also pointed to integrations with Kong and Google.
The release said Harness has invested in AI-driven security since its merger with Traceable in early 2025. It also named United Airlines, Morningstar and Choice Hotels as customers, and repeated prior company claims that it can accelerate releases by up to 75%, cut cloud costs by 60% and deliver 10x DevOps efficiency.
Harness said customers can request a demo or contact a Harness account representative for more information.
