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.
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.
