Features (2)
  • AI-powered threat modeling added to AWS Security Agent

    AWS Security Agent, part of AWS Continuum, now includes an AI-powered agentic capability that automatically generates threat models for applications. It analyzes design documents or source code to identify threats and recommend mitigations using the STRIDE framework.

  • IDE integration for early threat detection

    Developers can integrate the agent into IDEs such as Kiro and Claude Code to create threat models from specifications and address threats early in the design phase. Security teams can also use it for pre-deployment assessments.

Enhancements (1)
  • Automated threat modeling reduces manual effort and expertise needs

    This new capability brings agentic AI reasoning to threat modeling, deeply analyzing application architecture, data flows, and trust boundaries to produce contextually relevant threat models with actionable mitigations across all six STRIDE categories.
