AWS Security Agent
Proactively secure your applications throughout the development lifecycle with a frontier agent
Why AWS Security Agent?
AWS Security Agent is a frontier agent that proactively secures your applications throughout the development lifecycle across all your environments. It performs on-demand penetration testing customized to your application, discovering and reporting verified security risks. The agent conducts automated security reviews customized to your requirements, with security teams centrally defining standards that are automatically validated during reviews. This approach scales security expertise across your applications to match development velocity while providing comprehensive security coverage. By integrating security from design to deployment, it helps prevents vulnerabilities early and at scale.
On-demand penetration testing at development velocity
Real vulnerabilities, actionable fixes
Uncover validated security vulnerabilities through comprehensive, multi-step attack scenarios that span OWASP Top 10 risks and business logic flaws. Get reproducible exploit paths, comprehensive impact analysis, and ready-to-implement fixes in developer-friendly language.
Continuous validation at scale
Accelerate security testing from weeks to hours with on-demand testing. Scale penetration testing across your entire application portfolio, not just critical systems, and embed comprehensive security validation directly into your CI/CD pipeline through full API support.
Context-aware testing
Fix what matters. Security Agent understands your application's context to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that automated security scanning tools miss. It crafts targeted attack scenarios that validate real exploitable risks, not just surface-level findings
Benefits
Secure applications faster, earlier, and at scale with AI-powered automation
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.
Implement security correctly from the start and continuously after. Get real-time security feedback on design documents, automated code reviews on pull requests, and on-demand penetration testing. Prevent vulnerabilities early by validating security requirements before writing code and during development.
Remediate critical risks with organization and application-specific recommendations. Define your organization’s security standards once and automatically validate them across your applications during every design and code security review. Get context-aware recommendations during penetration testing based on your application context and data flows.
Customers Testimonials
SmugMug Inc.
“SmugMug is excited to add AWS Security Agent 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 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, 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 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 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, Security Operations, Bamboo Health
Use cases
Streamline application security across the development lifecycle
On-demand penetration testing
Execute on-demand penetration tests to keep pace with development cycles. Discover and get reports of validated security vulnerabilities through tailored multi-step attack scenarios. Security Agent documents findings with comprehensive impact analysis, reproducible attack paths, and ready-to- implement code fixes, transforming periodic penetration testing to on-demand validation that can scale across all applications rather than being limited to only critical ones.
Accelerate design security reviews
Analyze product specifications, architecture documents, and technical designs for security risks during the planning phase. AWS Security Agent reviews documents against AWS best practices and your organization's security requirements, accelerating time-consuming manual reviews into minutes of focused expert analysis.
Scale secure code analysis
Maintain consistent security standards across multiple development teams by automatically analyzing pull requests against organizational requirements and common vulnerabilities, providing immediate remediation guidance in developers' workflows.
