#123 · Level 3 · Modern architecture · SecurityConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Security Agent is an AI-powered application security service. Its main job is penetration testing, which means finding an app’s weaknesses by trying the way an attacker would. The AI agent understands the app and tests different attack paths on its own. For each weakness it finds, it shows proof along with advice on how to fix it. According to the AWS Continuum docs, Continuum now includes this agent (formerly AWS Security Agent), which provides penetration testing, code scanning and threat modeling.
