Traceable by Harness provides application and API security for organizations that need to discover, test, and protect modern applications across the software development lifecycle. Its platform is built around context-aware analysis of application and API activity, helping teams understand inventory, risk, behavior, and threats across cloud-native and hybrid environments.
Positioned within the Harness portfolio, Traceable by Harness focuses on securing the APIs, services, and data that power modern software. Its current messaging emphasizes security for both traditional API-driven applications and newer AI-enabled applications, including environments that use MCP tools, with support for teams that want to shift security earlier in development while maintaining runtime protection and investigation depth.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Traceable by Harness delivers a context-aware security platform that captures and correlates application and API activity over time to support discovery, posture analysis, vulnerability identification, runtime defense, and threat investigation. The platform also surfaces sensitive data exposure, maps application and service relationships, and adds AI-driven guidance to help teams investigate issues and prioritize remediation.
Traceable by Harness supports flexible deployment models, including SaaS, self-managed cloud, and on-premises environments, with inline, out-of-band, edge, agentless, serverless, eBPF, and language-agent collection options. It integrates with API gateways and load balancers, CI/CD tooling such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Harness STO, Jenkins, and Snyk, SIEM and logging tools such as Splunk and Syslog, cloud and WAF environments including AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, and Google Cloud Armor, and workflow systems such as Jira and ServiceNow.
