AWS Continuum
Security at machine speed, within guardrails you define
What is AWS Continuum?
AWS Continuum discovers, prioritizes, validates, and remediates security risks across the software lifecycle, at machine speed and within the guardrails you define. Before code ships, it helps you with on-demand penetration testing and finding risks in your designs and code. Once your systems are running, it decides which risks matter to your business, proves which are exploitable, and drives toward a fix.
AWS Continuum for code vulnerabilities takes findings from across your environment, prioritizes by business impact, proves which are exploitable, and works with your processes to help fix them. Continuum also offers a frontier agent (formerly known as AWS Security Agent) that proactively secures your applications throughout the development lifecycle across all your environments, bringing on-demand penetration testing, code scanning, and threat modeling.
Benefits
Run on-demand penetration tests, find security risks in your designs and code before they ship, and act on the risks in your environment. Using Continuum, you have security that keeps pace with how fast you build. Your team can surface risks in architecture and code during design and development, with the context and proof your teams need to fix them early.
Judge findings against your actual environment and business context, so your team spends its time on the risks with real business impact. Continuum brings together findings from across your environment, proves which are exploitable, and prioritizes by business impact, so your team works on what matters instead of processing thousands of unvalidated findings.
Work through findings at the speed risks now emerge, surfacing, proving, and resolving risk far faster than manual triage and cross-team coordination allow. You can apply fast, reversible mitigations within your guardrails and route durable fixes through the process your team already trusts, shifting from manual coordination to faster resolution.
Trust is graduated and set by you. Continuum starts by proposing actions and a human approves; you decide which actions it can take on its own, within guardrails you define and can change at any time.
Work through lower-priority exposures and re-check that fixes still hold, so security debt stops compounding between scans and audits.
Features
Continuum for code vulnerabilities (Gated preview)
Addresses the full lifecycle of a code vulnerability at machine speed: from discovery through actions. It reasons over your environment, confirms what is real, and drives toward resolution. It is model agnostic, using multiple frontier models where each performs best, and is built to incorporate the latest and most capable models as they emerge.
Continuum for penetration testing
Transform periodic security assessments into continuous validation with on-demand penetration testing that accelerates testing from weeks to hours. Identify validated vulnerabilities through tailored multi-step attack scenarios, complete with reproducible proof, and get ready-to-implement fixes.
Continuum for code scanning (Preview)
Perform deep security analysis of your code against organizational compliance requirements, known exploit patterns, and emerging threat vectors — delivering actionable remediation guidance with validated fixes.
Continuum for threat modeling (Preview)
Generate a context-aware STRIDE threat model based on your design docs or code base. Get prioritized, actionable mitigations across all six STRIDE categories through deep reasoning of your architecture, data flows, and trust boundaries.
Design partners
AWS Continuum for code vulnerabilities is currently working with select design partners including Capital One, MongoDB, Rivian, and Robinhood.
Customer testimonials
SmugMug Inc.
“SmugMug is excited to add AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum) to our automated security portfolio. Security Agent transforms our security ROI by enabling pen test assessments that complete in hours rather than days, at a fraction of manual testing costs. We can now assess our services more frequently, dramatically decreasing the time to identify and address issues earlier in the software development lifecycle.”
— Erik Giberti, Sr. Director of Product and Engineering, SmugMug
HENNGE K.K.
"AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum) delivered valuable insights that enhance the robustness of HENNGE's products and services—insights we hadn't discovered through manual testing. The contextually aware agentic AI approach provides different insights than traditional methods, while surfacing valuable application improvements beyond pure security findings. This allows us to rapidly accelerate our security lifecycle, reducing the typical testing duration by more than 90%.“
— Muhammad Furqan Habibi, DevSecOps Engineer, Cloud Product Development, HENNGE K.K (Japan)
Wayspring
"Within weeks of using AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum), false positives were significantly reduced, allowing our team to focus on true vulnerabilities and accelerate remediation. Unlike traditional third-party pen testing, which can take weeks to deliver results, Security Agent provides actionable findings in just hours. The intuitive setup made scanning and re-scanning simple, giving us the flexibility to run tests whenever needed. At Wayspring, security is foundational to how we operate, and Security Agent supports our commitment to continuous readiness and a strong security posture year-round.“
— Owen Zacharias, VP Architecture & Security, Wayspring
Classmethod, Inc.
“AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum) has empowered our development teams to easily conduct dynamic security testing on their own. With AI-powered, easy-to-understand reports integrated into our development lifecycle, we can now rapidly iterate on improvements. This has accelerated our security improvement cycle from months to days, enabling our organization to achieve both agility and security.”
— Satoshi Yokota, CEO, Classmethod, Inc.
Bamboo Health
AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum)surfaced findings that no other tool has uncovered by truly understanding the application, it's code, and connecting that context to what it discovered during testing. Legacy scanners simply could not match what Security Agent revealed.
It gave us visibility into issues we typically would not see, even from human pentesting teams. For the first time, it felt like I had an AI tool on my side as a defender. Not another noisy scanner, but a security agent that helps us think earlier, test faster, and see more."
- Travis Allen, Manager, Securit y Operations, Bamboo Health
