AWS Continuum
Autonomous security at machine speed, within guardrails you define
What is AWS Continuum?
AWS Continuum continuously 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. AWS harnesses multiple frontier cyber models on your behalf, selecting the right model for each task, combined with deep AWS environment context, so you get validated findings without procuring model access or building your own scanning pipeline. Continuum also offers a frontier agent (formerly known as AWS Security Agent) that proactively secures your applications throughout the development lifecycle across your environments with on-demand penetration testing.
Benefits
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 run on-demand penetration tests as well as surface risks in architecture and code during design and development, with the context and proof your teams need to fix them early.
Validate 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.
Continuously 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
Addresses the full lifecycle of a code vulnerability at machine speed: from discovery through remediation. It builds a context graph from your AWS environment, confirms which findings are exploitable in an isolated sandbox with reproduction steps, prioritizes by business impact, and delivers patches directly to developer workflows. 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 (f.k.a. AWS Security Agent)
Transform periodic security assessments into continuous validation with on-demand penetration testing that accelerates testing from weeks to hours. Continuum learns your application's context from the sources you provide, including design docs, user stories, and infrastructure as code, so it understands what sits on the other side of each endpoint. It tests deployed applications and source code, generates context-aware threat models, and delivers validated vulnerabilities with reproducible proof, and ready-to-implement fixes.
Use cases
Surface risks in architecture and code during design and development, with the context and proof your teams need to fix them early.
Bring together findings from across your environment, prove which are exploitable, and prioritize by business impact, so your team works on what matters instead of processing thousands of unvalidated findings.
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.
Keep Continuum running between scheduled reviews so it continuously works down your backlog, re-validates previous fixes, and surfaces new exposures as your environment changes.
Customer testimonials
Luminate Data
"At Luminate, AWS Continuum for code vulnerabilities' attack path visualization has elevated risk conversations with our product and business stakeholders. Compared to earlier generations of SAST tools where a dependency or code would be flagged with little context beyond a CVE number, Continuum's insights surface system gaps in a manner that makes the impact specific to us and understandable by the business. As AI-assisted development increases the volume of changes we ship each cycle, Luminate's teams benefit from that sharper stack analysis to keep any emergent weakness in focus, paired with a suggested remediation"
— James Courtois, VP of Software Engineering at Luminate Data
IBM
"AWS Continuum for code vulnerabilities demonstrates the potential for frontier AI to change how application security teams discover, validate, and respond to software vulnerabilities. The use of application and environment context provides a significant step beyond traditional code-scanning approaches, finding vulnerabilities and remediations our team could trust and act on. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with AWS and exploring how capabilities within Continuum can help our enterprise clients as part of a modern, AI-native application security approach."
— Matt Lewis, AWS EMEA CTO at IBM
Infor
"AWS Continuum enables us to take advantage of multiple frontier cyber models and handles the cost and complexity of running them, without a platform to build or maintain. That helps our engineering and security teams move faster from analysis to validated, actionable findings."
— Sandra Yi, Cyber Program Office Lead at Infor
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
"AWS Continuum introduces a powerful new approach to cloud security by combining AI-driven risk validation, prioritization and remediation with enterprise governance controls. It can help organizations move from managing findings to resolving validated risks faster, so security teams can focus on business-critical outcomes. I am excited about the possibilities this will open up for TCS and our clients as we help them address evolving security challenges."
— Kumar N, VP & Global Head Cyber Security Services, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
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)
