Impart Security has launched the Runtime Defense Harness, using AI agents to build and test virtual patches for vulnerabilities against live traffic without placing AI models in the traffic path. This enables security teams to deploy tested, deterministic virtual patches within hours of vulnerability disclosure, reducing reliance on slower vendor fixes and signatures.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity and AI Agents.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Security founders building runtime defence tools can accelerate response times by leveraging AI to create virtual patches that do not slow traffic or risk production. Your lead engineers gain ammo to push fixes within hours, making traditional patch delays a threat you can now bypass.
