Harness Inc., a software delivery startup has acquired Qwiet AI, formerly known as ShiftLeft Inc., a leader in agentic AI-powered vulnerability detection and remediation. Harness intends to integrate Qwiet’s Code Property Graph alongside the company’s Software Delivery Graph, which will allow the company deeper insights and precision for vulnerability detection and elimination. The CPG is the cornerstone of Qwiet’s service by providing fast and accurate code scanning by mapping the full flow of data and control within applications using an AI engine. Particularly, the addition of Qwiet will help reduce the amount of labor spent by developers fixing security issues in their code — especially those issues that actually matter first and foremost. Qwiet claims an industry-leading true-positive rate of 97%, an extremely low false-positive rate, and advanced reachability analysis that detects 92% of open-source vulnerabilities to help prioritize developer attention. By combining deep understanding of code alongside insights into runtime execution, Qwiet and Harness will be able to detect which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable. That will allow developers to focus on risks that matter. Qwiet says its platform goes beyond identifying vulnerabilities. The AI agents provide verified code fixes that can be implemented with confidence. The acquisition also addresses the growing security challenges posed by AI-generated code. AI-enabled development tools such as “vibe coding” platforms have made it easier for less experienced users to build applications quickly, but they also introduce more vulnerabilities. “AI-generated code is transforming how software gets built, but it’s also introducing a new wave of hidden vulnerabilities,” said Harness founder and Chief Executive Jyoti Bansal. “By unifying security and DevOps, every build, test and deployment can be secure by default – reducing risk while accelerating innovation.”
