Traceable —

Traceable by Harness envisions a future where application and API security are intrinsically woven into the fabric of software creation and delivery, ensuring every line of code powers innovation securely. By harnessing cutting-edge AI and machine learning, we build platforms that anticipate and neutralize threats before they emerge, enabling organizations to confidently embrace the cloud-native world.

Our mission is to redefine how security integrates within DevOps workflows, seamlessly embedding protection without friction and empowering teams to deliver robust, resilient software at scale. Through advanced automation and continuous intelligence, we create a security ecosystem that evolves with the complexity and speed of modern applications.

As part of the AI-native DevSecOps platform with Harness, we are pioneering a holistic approach to software delivery—where development velocity meets proactive, intelligent security—shaping a safer digital future for enterprises worldwide.

We've been watching Traceable for a while, and their recent merger with Harness caught our attention for all the right reasons. This isn't just another acquisition story — it's a smart play that addresses one of the biggest headaches in modern software development: securing APIs without slowing everything down.

What Makes Them Stand Out

Traceable's approach to API security feels refreshingly practical. Instead of bolting security on as an afterthought, they've built machine learning right into the discovery and protection process. Their platform automatically finds APIs (which is harder than it sounds in complex environments) and spots vulnerabilities before they become problems.

What impressed us most is how they've managed to make security proactive rather than reactive. The real-time threat detection uses AI to learn normal API behavior patterns, so it can flag anomalies that traditional security tools might miss.

The Harness Merger Makes Sense

When we heard about the Harness merger in 2025, our first thought was "finally." The DevOps and security worlds have been dancing around each other for years, but this combination actually delivers on the promise of true DevSecOps.

Jyoti Bansal's track record (he previously founded AppDynamics) gives us confidence this isn't just a vanity merger. Having Traceable's CTO Sanjay Nagaraj leading application security within the combined platform suggests they're serious about maintaining the technical excellence that made Traceable notable in the first place.

Who Should Pay Attention

If you're a security leader tired of being the team that "slows down deployment," this platform could be a game-changer. Enterprise DevOps teams dealing with API sprawl will also find value here — especially those already invested in CI/CD automation.

The $110 million in funding before the merger shows investors believed in the vision, and now with Harness backing, they've got the resources to execute on some ambitious plans. We're curious to see how they balance innovation with the integration challenges that come with any major merger.
