AWS Security Agent adds verification scripts for pentest findings

AWS Security Agent

AWS Security Agent now generates verification scripts for penetration test findings, enabling security teams to independently reproduce and validate discovered vulnerabilities.

Previously, teams manually followed reproduction steps from finding details. Now, AWS Security Agent automatically generates ready-to-run scripts for each confirmed finding. Teams download the script, configure environment variables, and execute it against their target system to verify the vulnerability, streamlining triage and accelerating remediation.

Verification scripts include setup instructions, documented environment variables, and redacted sensitive values. Available in all AWS Regions where AWS Security Agent is supported.

What to do

• Run a penetration test
• Navigate to findings
• Expand the Verification Script section

To learn more, see Review findings from a penetration test in the AWS Security Agent User Guide.
