AWS launches frontier agents for security testing and cloud operations

I’m excited to announce that AWS Security Agent on-demand penetration testing and AWS DevOps Agent are now generally available, representing a new class of AI capabilities we announced at re:Invent called frontier agents. These autonomous systems work independently to achieve goals, scale massively to tackle concurrent tasks, and run persistently for hours or days without constant human oversight. Together, these agents are changing the way we secure and operate software. In preview, customers and partners report that AWS Security Agent compresses penetration testing timelines from weeks to hours and the AWS DevOps Agent supports 3–5x faster incident resolution.

Prompting Amazon Nova 2 for content moderation

In this post, you learn how to prompt Amazon Nova 2 Lite for content moderation using structured and free-form approaches, grounded in the MLCommons AILuminate Assessment Standard. The prompting techniques use the AILuminate taxonomy as an example, but they work equally well with your own custom moderation policy. You can swap in your own category definitions and the prompt structure stays the same. We also benchmark the content moderation capabilities of Amazon Nova 2 Lite against several foundation models (FMs) on three public datasets.
