Harness, the AI DevOps Platform company, has acquired Qwiet AI, a provider of agentic AI-powered vulnerability detection and reachability analysis, effective September 26, 2025.
The move follows its March 2025 merger with Traceable and strengthens Harness’ growing application security portfolio, which is on track to achieve $50M in ARR this year.
AI coding tools and trends like “vibe coding” are accelerating software development but introducing new risks. AI-generated code often carries insecure patterns, missing safeguards, and fake dependencies, leading to more hidden vulnerabilities.
With security teams overwhelmed by low-value alerts and false positives, critical threats are missed. As innovation outpaces protection, enterprises struggle to scale AI securely while maintaining compliance and speed.
By joining forces with Qwiet AI, Harness is strengthening its commitment to AI-era application security and advancing its vision of a future where speed and security seamlessly align in software development.
“AI-generated code is transforming how software gets built, but it’s also introducing a new wave of hidden vulnerabilities,”
said Jyoti Bansal, Co-founder and CEO of Harness.
“With Qwiet AI, we’re extending our robust application security portfolio to secure code from the very first step. By unifying security and DevOps, every build, test, and deployment can be secure by default – reducing risk while accelerating innovation. It’s a game-changer for enterprises that want to move fast and stay secure.”
“I’m excited to join Harness at such a pivotal time in the company’s growth,”
said Rahul Sood, General Manager at Harness.
“Application security is one of the most urgent challenges enterprises face in the AI era. Harness is uniquely positioned to meet developers where they are, baking security into the software delivery process so customers can innovate without compromise.”
