Enterprise software delivery leader Harness announced a powerful suite of agentic security tools, including AI SAST, automated triage and remediation agents, a dedicated Zero-Day Agent, and virtual patching capabilities. Engineered to unify application security directly within continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, the specialized software agents enable enterprise engineering teams to detect, prioritize, and remediate code vulnerabilities at machine speed.
The release addresses a widening operational gap in software defense: while frontier AI models allow malicious actors to automate threat discovery and execute exploits within hours of vulnerability disclosure, conventional enterprise remediation workflows often require weeks to deploy code fixes. By embedding AI-driven security automation directly into daily delivery pipelines, Harness enables organizations to eliminate manual handoffs and mitigate exposure windows across distributed applications.
“We’re at a point where the same AI models helping our customers ship software faster are also what attackers are using to find and exploit vulnerabilities faster,” said Rahul Sood, General Manager of Application Security at Harness. “The only way to close that gap is to make security a first-class part of the delivery pipeline itself, so scanning, prioritization, remediation, and deployment all move together instead of getting stuck in handoffs between disconnected systems. That’s the shift we built these agents around, and it’s the same shift every enterprise is going to have to make to stay ahead.”

Unifying Security Automation Across the Vulnerability Lifecycle
Harness’s new agentic ecosystem introduces automated coverage across every stage of vulnerability management, converting fragmented scanner outputs into validated, production-ready code updates:
AI SAST & LLM Orchestration: Combines deterministic static analysis and intelligent context filtering for avoiding false positives while identifying intricate logic flaws, including Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR). For teams that have built their own LLM scanners, there is also the ability to orchestrate their scanning activities within their delivery pipeline.
Triage Agent: Takes in raw security telemetry and filters out low priority findings, prioritizing vulnerable findings by their actual exploitability and context.
Remediation Agent: Automatically creates, validates, and tests the functional code fixes to the vulnerabilities found and creates ready-for-merging pull requests (PRs).
Zero-Day Agent: Keeps an eye on external threat feeds for newly discovered zero-days, identifies vulnerable software components within the customer’s environment, and prepares validated fixes in minutes.
Virtual Patching: Provides runtime protection during the test phase against exploitation until the final fix is made to the source code.
“For customers, this means the distance between ‘we found something’ and ‘it’s fixed and deployed’ shrinks from weeks to hours, without adding headcount or a new tool to manage,” Sood added. “Every agent in this launch is built on the same reachability data, so teams aren’t just moving faster, they’re spending that speed on the vulnerabilities that actually matter instead of chasing noise.”
Strengthening Enterprise DevSecOps Resilience
Harness leverages its unified reachability data among all security agents, enabling enterprise security teams to release software rapidly while maintaining system integrity. This platform is designed to make sure that developers are not spending too much time working on false positives but rather on impactful features.
