AWS's latest security tool will prioritise bugs before patching

AWS is adding another security tool to its arsenal to address patching demands in the post-Mythos security era, launching a top-layer service that emphasises prioritising bugs that "matter" before patching.

Launched in preview at the AWS Summit in New York, AWS Continuum for code vulnerabilities is a “system of agents” designed to identify, validate, prioritise and help fix vulnerabilities in enterprise software.

AWS Director of Applied Science Neha Rungta told The Stack the tool “ingests results from your existing tools and its own scans, builds context about your environment and business, prioritises what actually matters, proves what's exploitable in a sandbox, and drives a fix through your own process.”
