Harness, the AI DevOps Platform™ company, has acquired Qwiet AI for an undisclosed amount, integrating advanced application security capabilities into its existing platform. Qwiet AI specializes in identifying, prioritizing, and generating fixes for vulnerabilities across various code components, including SAST, SCA, Container, Secrets, and SBOM. This is not a funding round; Harness has purchased Qwiet AI to expand its offerings. Qwiet AI's patented Code Property Graph technology and proprietary AI/ML tooling enable rapid, accurate security scans that pinpoint top risks and facilitate faster remediation.
The acquisition is a strategic move for Harness, aiming to enhance its comprehensive DevOps platform with robust, AI-powered security features. Harness’s focus on streamlining software delivery aligns with Qwiet AI’s ability to accelerate secure code development by providing high-fidelity vulnerability insights and automated fixes. By bringing Qwiet AI's expertise in security scanning and AI-driven remediation under the Harness umbrella, the combined entity seeks to embed security more deeply into the development lifecycle, addressing risks earlier and more efficiently.
Expected synergies include a more cohesive and intelligent platform that offers developers and security teams a unified view and actionable insights. Qwiet AI’s 97% true positive rate and ability to reduce remediation time are key advantages that will benefit Harness customers, allowing them to detect and resolve critical vulnerabilities with greater accuracy and speed. The integration is anticipated to reduce false positives significantly and provide a comprehensive security solution directly within the DevOps pipeline.
Moving forward, the combined Harness and Qwiet AI aims to deliver a more secure and automated software development experience. This acquisition positions Harness to offer an even more complete AI DevOps platform, enabling customers to build, deploy, and secure their applications with unparalleled efficiency and confidence, ultimately fostering more secure software innovation.
