AWS Security Agent features

AWS Security Agent shifts security left by providing real-time security feedback on design documents and assessing compliance with organizational security requirements before any code is written. AppSec teams upload documents through a web application and receive remediation guidance and prioritize findings, accelerating review cycles. By proactively embedding your security standards into every design review, you reduce late-stage architectural rework and keep pace with multiple development teams.

AWS Security Agent proactively secures applications by analyzing pull requests against your organizational security requirements and common vulnerabilities. Developers receive remediation guidance directly in their GitHub workflow, while AppSec teams configure the repositories to be monitored and intervene on critical issues. This embeds security expertise across all repositories, reducing security-related delays in the development pipeline.

AWS Security Agent executes on-demand penetration tests to discover, and report validated security vulnerabilities through tailored multi-step attack scenarios. It documents these findings with impact analysis, reproducible attack paths and ready-to-implement code fixes, accelerating penetration testing from weeks to hours and scaling penetration testing across all applications, instead of just critical ones.

AWS Security Agent operates across AWS, hybrid, and multicloud environments, providing consistent security guidance and testing, regardless of your infrastructure setup.

Conduct comprehensive security reviews with analysis of findings and manage penetration testing scopes across the entire organization through a web application.

Define your organization's security requirements once in the AWS console. AWS Security Agent automatically validates using your specific policies across all applications during every security review, ensuring teams address the risks you care about, not generic security checklists.

AWS Security Agent analyzes your design documents, business requirements, and source code to understand each application before making security recommendations. By understanding your technology patterns, architecture decisions, and business context, the agent delivers guidance tailored to each application's unique risk profile across design reviews, code analysis, and penetration testing. You get security recommendations that fit your applications, not one-size-fits-all rules.

AWS Security Agent leverages nearly two decades of AWS cloud and application security expertise along with AWS security best practices to provide comprehensive security guidance. AWS security infrastructure is trusted by some of the most security sensitive organizations such as the government, financial services, and healthcare.

AWS Security Agent delivers on-demand penetration testing by deploying specialized AI agents to discover and report validated security vulnerabilities, transforming periodic assessments to continuous validation. It identifies complex vulnerabilities through tailored multi-step attack scenarios by testing web applications and APIs against OWASP (Open Worldwide Application Security Project) Top 10 vulnerabilities as well as business logic flaws.

AWS Security Agent validates security findings through exploitation, delivering reproducible exploit paths, comprehensive impact analysis, and ready-to-implement fixes in developer-friendly language. This helps teams prioritize legitimate high-impact security risks without wasting time on false positives.

AWS Security Agent transforms slow and resource-intensive periodic penetration tests into ongoing testing that matches your development speed. With on-demand testing now available, organizations can expand penetration testing beyond just critical applications and secure their entire portfolio with the same resources.

AWS Security Agent understands your application's context by learning from your source code and documentation to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that automated security scanning tools can't find. By understanding your application context and data flows, it crafts targeted attack scenarios that validate real exploitable risks, not just surface-level findings. This context-aware testing uncovers the critical vulnerabilities that matter to your business.

Tested across hundreds of applications with customers including SmugMug, Wayspring, and HENNGE K.K., and internal AWS Pentest teams, the Security Agent consistently identifies legitimate critical vulnerabilities with high precision and recall matching human penetration testers. Security Agent enables security teams to focus on complex attack vectors while maintaining comprehensive vulnerability coverage with minimal false positives.
