AI is accelerating development and your artifact supply chain is the new attack surface. See how Harness CI/CD, STO, and Artifact Registry work better together to close the gap between "built" and "trusted."

When AI writes code and adds dependencies at machine speed, the risk isn't just in production. It's in every image, package, and library moving through your build process. One unvetted artifact can undo months of security investment.

In 25 minutes, we'll show you how to go from "we think it's clean" to "we know it's clean" without slowing your pipeline down.
