🚀At re:Invent, we introduced the concept of frontier agents. Today, I'm excited to share that the first two—AWS Security Agent and AWS DevOps Agent—are now generally available: https://t.co/r4koN5zyrx
Unlike traditional AI assistants that help with individual tasks, frontier agents work don’t need constant direction. These agents operate autonomously to solve complex problems, make decisions across multiple steps, and run persistently for hours or days until they accomplish their objectives. Here’s more on what these new class of agents can accomplish for your business:
🟠 We built AWS Security Agent with insights from operating security at Amazon scale and it’s changing how customers approach application security. Most organizations limit manual penetration testing to their most critical applications due to time and cost constraints, leaving the majority of their portfolio exposed. AWS Security Agent transforms penetration testing from a periodic event, typically covering a handful of applications on an annual or infrequent cadence, into a continuous, context-aware capability that increases the speed, frequency, and coverage of security testing across your entire application portfolio. AWS Security Agent operates like a human penetration tester. By ingesting your design documentation, source code, and architecture diagrams, it conducts context-aware analysis to uncover the critical vulnerabilities that matter to your business. In preview we helped customers like Scout24 SE, SmugMug, HENNGE, LG CNS, Bamboo Health, Wayspring, Classmethod, Inc., and SIXT gain deeper insights, faster, more frequently across more of their portfolios.
🟠 AWS DevOps Agent is your always-available operations teammate that resolves and proactively prevents incidents across AWS, multicloud, and on-premises environments. When incidents occur, it autonomously investigates root causes by correlating telemetry, code, and deployment data across your entire stack. It begins investigating the moment an alert comes in—whether at 2 AM or during peak hours—to reduce MTTR and quickly restore your application to optimal performance. We've helped customers such as United Airlines, T-Mobile, Western Governors University and Zenchef achieve lower MTTR and faster investigations, enabling 3–5x faster incident resolution.
