AWS Continuum
#164 · Level 4 · Operations and specialized areas · Governance, multi-account and costConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Continuum looks for security risks throughout the whole software-building process, checks which ones are real dangers, and delivers fixes to developers. Its earlier name was AWS Security Agent. It reviews security at every level — design, code and the running app. Penetration testing means looking for weaknesses by trying to break into a system the way an attacker would, and it does this work too. Instead of only raising warnings, it shows whether a weakness can really be exploited, and how to fix it.
