Securing the Agent DLC

Harness has introduced a novel DevSecOps platform designed specifically for the Agent Development Lifecycle (Agent DLC), addressing the unique challenges posed by agentic applications that traditional security models cannot handle. Unlike static software, agents operate dynamically at runtime, expanding attack surfaces and inheriting trust from interconnected models, tools, and APIs, which traditional security tools are not equipped to secure. The platform's "shift-left" approach limits what agents can do before deployment, while the "shield-right" strategy ensures continuous policy enforcement and visibility during runtime. By incorporating features like primitive scanning, AI Testing, and Agent Discovery, the platform offers comprehensive security throughout the agent's lifecycle. This new discipline of agent security aims to redefine how security is integrated into modern software development, focusing on the evolving nature of AI-driven agents.
