# AWS Continuum to Enable Agentic Code Security for Enterprises

**[InfoQ](https://daily.dev/sources/infoq)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

AWS has launched AWS Continuum, an integrated agentic security platform covering the full vulnerability lifecycle across codebases, dependencies, and applications. It ships with four capabilities: penetration testing, code review, threat modelling, and code vulnerability management. The code-vulnerabilities feature operates in four phases — discovery, prioritisation, validation, and mitigation — and uses a graduated trust model letting teams control how much autonomy the tool has. Penetration testing and code review are generally available; threat modelling is in preview; code vulnerabilities are in gated preview. Critics, including AWS serverless hero Yan Cui, note confusion because the same capabilities now exist under both the older AWS Security Agent branding and the new Continuum umbrella. AWS competes in this space with Google AI Threat Defense and Microsoft MDASH.

## Questions this post answers

### What is AWS Continuum and what agentic security capabilities does it include?

AWS Continuum is an integrated security platform from AWS that automates discovery, enforcement, and remediation of security issues across codebases, dependencies, and applications. It launches with four agentic capabilities: penetration testing, code review, threat modelling, and code vulnerabilities, covering the entire vulnerability lifecycle from discovery through prioritisation, validation, and remediation.

_Track how agentic security platforms like this evolve by following AWS Continuum coverage on daily.dev._

### Are AWS Continuum's penetration testing and code review features generally available?

Yes, penetration testing and code-review capabilities are already generally available with established pricing, having launched as part of AWS Security Agent during AWS re:Invent 2025. The threat modelling capability is currently in preview, while the code-vulnerabilities capability is in gated preview and requires signing up for access.

_Developers evaluating rollout timing for AWS security tooling can follow updates like this on daily.dev._

### How does AWS Continuum's code-vulnerabilities capability decide which vulnerabilities to fix first?

It operates in four continuous phases: discovery, prioritisation, validation, and mitigation/remediation. During prioritisation and validation, it checks whether affected components are deployed and reachable, assesses business impact, and builds fully functional exploit examples in a sandboxed environment to reduce false positives and provide real evidence of the issue.

_Security teams weighing agentic remediation workflows can keep up with tools like this on daily.dev._
