Impart launches Runtime Defense Harness for AI virtual patches
Original title: Impart uses AI to build virtual patches without putting models in the traffic path
AI agents write tested virtual patches in 60 minutes enforced inline as WebAssembly without traffic path impact.
Impart Security launched the Runtime Defense Harness, a controlled environment where AI agents write and test virtual patches against customer traffic. The model never sits in the live request path. Teams get tested virtual patches as soon as 60 minutes after disclosure.
- Virtual patches enforced inline as WebAssembly
- Engineer approval required for live rule changes
- Uses lightweight AI model or bring your own
- Held up under real Node.js vulnerability
Impact: fast response to new vulnerabilities
- 1.use Runtime Defense Harness
- 2.approve virtual patches
- 3.review audit trail

From the original article
2 min read at helpnetsecurity.comImpart 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.
