Harness AI Feb 2026: Secure SDLC, Faster Shipping with Agent
Blog post from Harness
February's updates from Harness focus on enhancing AI security and delivery in software development, emphasizing enterprise-grade application security, API security, SRE automation, and a significant DevOps Agent upgrade. The newly available WAAP Public MCP Server facilitates API security data querying with natural language in AI environments, integrating insights into developer workflows. Harness's Security Testing Orchestration now includes AI-powered static and software composition analysis tools, prioritizing reachable vulnerabilities to reduce noise in high-speed AI coding environments. Enhancements to Jira integration in AI SRE streamline incident management by dynamically loading required fields based on project and issue type. A major upgrade to the DevOps Agent, powered by the Opus 4.5 foundation model, improves speed, context retention, and accuracy for complex pipeline automation. These innovations aim to resolve the AI Velocity Paradox, ensuring faster, safer software delivery by addressing downstream bottlenecks in testing, security, and deployment, thereby turning AI potential into tangible business velocity.
