AWS releases autonomous AI agents that slash penetration testing from weeks to hours and accelerate incident resolution by 3-5x

AWS Security Agent and AWS DevOps Agent are now generally available as 'frontier agents' - autonomous AI systems that work independently for extended periods without constant human oversight

AWS Security Agent compresses penetration testing timelines from weeks to hours, dramatically accelerating security testing cycles

AWS DevOps Agent enables 3-5x faster incident resolution, improving operational efficiency across cloud infrastructure

These agents can scale to handle concurrent tasks and run persistently for hours or days, representing a new class of AI capabilities announced at AWS re:Invent
