AWS Continuum for Penetration Testing

AWS Continuum for Penetration Testing now integrates continuous penetration testing directly into your CI/CD pipeline (public preview).

AWS Continuum for Penetration Testing (formerly AWS Security Agent) already provides continuous, on-demand penetration testing without the need to contract third-party pentest vendors. Now, in public preview, Continuum for Penetration Testing shifts security testing even further left by integrating directly into your existing CI/CD systems, making penetration testing a deploy-time event.

Developers receive findings, including severity, affected endpoints, and remediation guidance, directly in pipeline output. Non-security changes complete with no meaningful delay, and the pipeline automatically re-tests and verifies fixes after remediation without requiring manual re-triggers.

What to do

  • Get started by pasting an auto-generated pipeline snippet into any existing pipeline.
  • Complete setup in under five minutes.
  • Application context bootstraps automatically on the first run.
  • No prior full penetration test required.

Continuous penetration testing is available today. To get started, visit our documentation.
