# AWS Continuum

AWS Continuum discovers, prioritizes, validates, and remediates security risks across the software development lifecycle. Before you deploy, it performs on-demand penetration testing and identifies risks in your designs and code. After your systems are running, it prioritizes risks by business impact and proves which are exploitable. It then works with your existing processes to drive each risk to a fix. AWS Continuum also includes a frontier agent (formerly AWS Security Agent) that provides on-demand penetration testing, code scanning, and threat modeling throughout the development lifecycle.
