Harness Launches AI Agents for Machine-Speed Vulnerability Response

As frontier AI models give attackers a shrinking window to strike, Harness gives security teams a way to keep pace

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Harness, the AI Software Delivery Platform™ company, today announced a set of security capabilities – AI SAST, agentic triage and remediation, a dedicated Zero-Day Agent, and virtual patching – that let security teams scan, prioritize, and ship a fix without waiting on a slower, disconnected process.

Frontier AI models are now on both sides of the equation. Attackers are using them to find and chain vulnerabilities faster than ever, going from disclosure to first exploit in as little as six hours, while the average vulnerability still takes over 50 days to fix. Defenders are gaining the same advantage, but unevenly: Project Glasswing partners have surfaced roughly 10 times more vulnerabilities using LLM-based scanning, a wave of visibility that turns into a bigger backlog without a faster way to act.

This is the new baseline, and every enterprise needs to be ready. This means having the ability to scan, triage, and ship a fix at the same machine speed those models now run, rather than relying on a security process built for a slower era.
