AWS Security Agent, part of AWS Continuum, released a public preview of a new threat modeling capability that analyzes application source code and design documents. Using AI and the STRIDE framework, it generates detailed threat models with recommended mitigations, automating a task traditionally reliant on specialized expertise and manual effort.

Developers can integrate this capability within IDEs like Kiro and Claude Code to address threats early in the design phase, while security teams utilize it for pre-deployment assessments. The feature is offered at no extra cost during its preview and is available in all supported AWS regions.
