Harness acquires Qwiet AI to power application security in the AI era, embedding reachability analysis to cut noise and prioritize real risks. By Sanjay Nagaraj, SVP Global Engineering, Harness; Co-founder and CTO, Traceable by Harness Today, I am excited to share that Harness has acquired Qwiet AI (formerly ShiftLeft), a leader in agentic AI-powered vulnerability detection and reachability analysis.

The integration of Amazon Kiro and Harness’s MCP server enables developers to manage, troubleshoot, and optimize CI/CD pipelines directly from their IDE using natural language, dramatically reducing manual effort and accelerating software delivery from code generation to production.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has transformed how applications interact with Large Language Models (LLMs). RAGs ground LLM responses in external knowledge, improves accuracy, and reduces hallucinations. But traditional RAG systems have a significant limitation: they only process text. Multimodal RAG addresses this limitation by processing and understanding multiple data types (text, images, and potentially audio).

As network teams constantly search for new ways to simplify and optimize their networks, it helps to hear from experts who have spent years at the center of these transformations. One of these voices is Fabio D’Avino, a specialist in Network as a Service (NaaS) with more than seven years of experience researching, designing, and building global network services across industries.

Turns out, Alloy Navigator is incredibly flexible and can be applied in business processes beyond IT service management.

Automated, codified, Linux-ready. For DevOps and Platform Engineers who need monitoring that ships with infrastructure.

We’re pleased to share a security enhancement for Ubuntu workloads on Microsoft Azure. In collaboration with Microsoft, Ubuntu now supports Azure’s Metadata Security Protocol (MSP)—a feature that hardens access to the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) and WireServer. On Ubuntu, MSP is enabled by the azure-proxy-agent package, Canonical’s integration of Microsoft’s Guest Proxy Agent (GPA).

Every software organization has its own unique architecture and workflows. Beyond services and APIs, teams rely on internal libraries, CI/CD jobs, data pipelines, AI agents, and more to keep systems running smoothly. But as architectures grow more complex and interconnected, it can become difficult to keep track of all the structural dependencies and interactions in one place.

Cybersecurity finally has a seat in the boardroom. Ivanti’s 2025 State of Cybersecurity research shows that: On paper, that’s progress. But, many organizations struggle to convert board-level attention into sustained, measurable risk reduction.

Node.js has become one of the most popular platforms for building scalable and high-performance web applications. Its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model allows developers to efficiently handle thousands of concurrent connections with minimal overhead. However, many businesses still face a critical challenge, Node.js applications often crash unexpectedly in production environments, causing downtime, lost revenue, and damage to brand reputation.
