AWS Continuum offers devs help with securing code
AI coding agents are making it easier than ever to produce software. Ensuring that software is secure before deployment is another matter — one that AWS thinks AI should help with too. As enterprises adopt agentic development workflows, the volume of first-party code being created and modified is rising rapidly. Yet the process of validating vulnerabilities, determining whether they are exploitable, and fixing them often still depends on developers and security teams working through findings manually. AWS is aiming to address that imbalance with Continuum, a new service designed to continuously discover, investigate, and remediate vulnerabilities in enterprise environments, whether the code is their own or from third parties. Rather than simply generating alerts, the service is intended to help enterprises move findings through the entire remediation lifecycle, AWS VP of Security and Observability Chet Kapoor wrote in a blog post.
