The General Availability of AWS Security Agent introduced a persistent, AI-driven penetration testing service that autonomously performs multi-step attack simulations tailored to each application, delivering detailed vulnerability reports with risk scores, reproduction steps, and remediation advice. It operates 24/7 at reduced cost compared to manual tests.
Multicloud support allows consolidated security testing across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem infrastructure, transforming penetration testing from a periodic manual task into a scalable, continuous process. As of March 2026, it was available in six key AWS Regions with trial and pricing details published by AWS.
