The all-in-one devops platform sets its sights on AI-generated vulnerabilities.

Harness has acquired Qwiet AI in a bid to strengthen its application security business and address the hidden risks introduced by AI-assisted coding.

Qwiet AI’s proprietary Code Property Graph (CPG) promises to bring deeper application awareness and precision to vulnerability detection, as Harness looks to reduce the number of false positives security teams are forced to grapple with.

The move follows Harness’s March 2025 merger with the API security platform Traceable as it continues to build out the sec in DevSecOps.

AI coding tools like Cursor and Copilot, as well as vibe coding techniques, are accelerating software development, but they can introduce insecure patterns, skip crucial safeguards, and fabricate dependencies.

“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, in a press release. 

“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.”
