AWS Releases Frontier Agents For Security And DevOps
AWS announced on March 31, 2026 that AWS Security Agent and AWS DevOps Agent, its new "frontier" autonomous agents, are generally available after previews at re:Invent. AWS says Security Agent reduces penetration testing from weeks to hours while DevOps Agent cuts MTTR by up to 75% and supports 3–5x faster incident resolution; customers report large timeline reductions.
