Harness
Application
Engineering-intelligence module that tracks DORA metrics, developer productivity and AI coding-tool spend together: which AI tools teams use, token consumption by developer, team, agent and model, AI-authored code and its effect on delivery.
AI Firewall blocks prompt injection, evasion, and malicious payloads targeting AI applications.
AI and Cloud Costs translates natural-language governance intent into cloud rules and remediates violations automatically.
Detects and blocks API attacks, bots and Layer 7 DDoS with behavioral AI trained on live traffic, covering credential stuffing, account takeover and business-logic abuse such as BOLA and mass assignment.
Agent platform
Governed AI agents defined in a committed file that run inside Harness pipelines on events such as CI failures and pull requests, with prebuilt agents for autofix, code review, code coverage, feature-flag cleanup, manifest remediation and IaCM remediation.
Developer tool
Reviews pull requests by grouping diffs by risk so the riskiest changes come first, enforcing required checks that cannot be bypassed, and citing delivery history and the knowledge graph for context.
AI SCA applies reachability analysis and EPSS scoring to open-source risk detection.
Creates intent-based tests and runs them within CI/CD pipelines with AI-assisted failure analysis.
Platform
AI-native software delivery platform: pipelines and canary deployments, AI security testing, runtime API and AI protection, cost management and policy governance, driven by AI agents that recommend while people decide.
