AWS Security Agent adds Kiro Power, Claude Code, simulated validations and new integrations support

AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum) adds support for Kiro and Claude Code, enabling developers to trigger security scans directly from their development environment. AWS Security Agent now also validates code scanner findings by simulating exploits in a sandbox environment and providing proof of exploit, so teams can trust their results, minimize false positives, and prioritize remediation with confidence. Additionally, this release adds integrations with GitLab.com, GitLab Self Managed, GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket, and Confluence.

With simulated validations, the code scanner goes beyond detection as it executes findings in an isolated environment and returns evidence demonstrating how a vulnerability can be exploited. Security teams no longer need to spend cycles triaging unverified alerts; they get legitimate, proven findings with the context needed to make the right prioritization decisions.

Kiro power and Claude Code plugin for AWS Security Agent lets developers connect their existing source control platforms and build threat models, run code scans and remediate validated findings from code review and penetration tests without leaving their IDE.

These features are available in all regions where AWS Security Agent is supported.
