Impart Security has launched the Runtime Defense Harness, a controlled environment where AI agents write and test virtual patches for new vulnerabilities without putting AI in the traffic path. The launch comes as exploits increasingly outpace fixes. In the harness, agents build each virtual patch against the customer’s own traffic, an engineer approves it, and Impart’s engine enforces it as deterministic code.
