AI Coding Security Risks Demand Dependency Firewalls | Harness Blog

AI coding assistants accelerate development but can rapidly introduce vulnerable, malicious, or non-compliant open-source dependencies into your codebase. Harness Artifact Registry's Dependency Firewall acts as a registry-level control point, evaluating and blocking risky external packages before they enter your CI/CD pipeline—essential protection against modern npm-style supply chain attacks.

Why ITSM Still Isn't Solving Tickets (And What Comes Next)

Most ITSM platforms make it easier to submit tickets. They don't make it easier to resolve them. As we said in our webinar: "A better front door without backbone orchestration is just a faster handoff." The future of IT isn't faster ticket creation. It's autonomous ticket resolution powered by AI, automation, and orchestration.

Governing AI Agents at Runtime: Open Source Zero-Trust with AGT | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

AI agents are moving from demos to production – but who governs what they do at runtime? The Agent Governance Toolkit (AGT) is an open source, MIT-licensed framework from Microsoft that enforces deterministic policy before every tool call, message, and action an agent takes. In this talk, Imran walks through how AGT brings zero-trust identity, policy-as-code, tamper-evident Merkle audit chains, and a Kubernetes sidecar model to any AI agent, regardless of framework.

Upsun included in IDC ProductScape on worldwide cloud deployment-centric platforms, 2026

Upsun is included in IDC ProductScape guide to worldwide cloud deployment-centric platform capabilities. Building and scaling applications has never been more complex or more critical. Engineering teams are under constant pressure to ship faster, manage increasingly complex infrastructure, and adapt to the rapid rise of agent and AI-powered development. Choosing the right platform to support these demands is an important decision for technology organizations.

We redesigned Spike

Last Christmas, after everyone had gone quiet for the holidays, I sat down with a pen and some paper and started drawing Spike. Not the Spike we actually had, but the Spike I wanted, the one I had been carrying around in my head for a long time without ever really putting it down anywhere. A little while later I brought a few of those screens into Figma and showed them to the team over coffee one afternoon.

How to build a hybrid private cloud strategy that scales with your business

Most hybrid cloud strategies fail not at launch but at scale. The architecture works fine for the first year. The team's workloads are modest, the integration points are limited, and the operational overhead is manageable. Then the business grows. Workloads multiply, data volumes climb, the team expands, and the seams between public cloud and private infrastructure start showing.

How to build sustainable AI infrastructure on GPU cloud

AI's environmental cost is real, and it's growing. Training a large language model can consume the electricity of hundreds of households for weeks. Inference at production scale runs continuously, with GPU clusters drawing power around the clock. The data centers that house all of this are some of the most concentrated energy consumers in the modern technology stack.
