Qwiet AI (a Harness company)
Qwiet AI provides AI-powered application security testing — combining SAST, SCA, IaC, container, and secrets scanning in one scan with automated, unit-tested code fixes — now part of the Harness software delivery platform.

Qwiet AI (formerly ShiftLeft) offers AI-powered application security testing that combines static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), infrastructure-as-code scanning, container scanning, and secrets scanning into a single unified scan. Its standout feature is AI-generated remediation: rather than only flagging vulnerabilities, the platform produces production-ready, unit-tested code fixes engineers can apply directly, and the company reports a 97% true-positive rate using reachability and exploitability filtering to cut through the alert noise common to traditional SAST tools.
Originally built on code-property-graph analysis technology, Qwiet AI was acquired by Harness, a software delivery platform company, and now operates as an integrated part of Harness’s broader DevOps and security portfolio. Its customer base has included large enterprises such as Cisco, The Home Depot, Emirates, and Wipro.
Qwiet’s differentiator is closing the loop from detection to remediation — generating actual code fixes rather than just prioritized findings — which directly addresses one of AppSec’s most persistent bottlenecks: developers receiving vulnerability reports they lack the time or context to fix.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Evolved from code-property-graph-based SAST (as ShiftLeft) into AI-driven, fix-generating application security, now integrated into Harness's broader delivery platform.
Generating production-ready, unit-tested code fixes — not just findings — directly reduces the remediation burden that causes most AppSec backlogs.
Enterprise customers including Cisco, The Home Depot, Emirates, and Wipro, plus acquisition by a well-funded platform (Harness), indicate real commercial traction.
AI-assisted vulnerability remediation is a meaningful step forward for AppSec workflows, but unified SAST/SCA scanning itself is a well-established, crowded category.
A 97% true-positive rate is a notable vendor-stated claim; independent third-party benchmark validation was not located.
Reducing developer remediation burden through AI-generated fixes is likely to become increasingly important as vulnerability volumes continue to outpace available developer time.
Why CISOs Should Care
Reduces the AppSec remediation bottleneck by generating actual, unit-tested code fixes for vulnerabilities rather than leaving developers to interpret and fix findings themselves.
What Makes It Different
Closes the loop from detection to remediation with AI-generated code fixes, rather than stopping at prioritized vulnerability findings like most SAST/SCA tools.
The Matrix Verdict
62/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A technically capable AppSec platform now backed by Harness's scale; the 97% accuracy claim is compelling but not yet independently verified.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
The 97% true-positive rate and remediation-speed claims are vendor-stated; independent benchmark testing was not located.
