AWS Security Agent, now part of AWS Continuum, introduced maximum task-hours limits for budget control and targeted finding revalidation for autonomous penetration testing.

Key Details

• Allows setting a maximum task-hours limit on penetration tests using preset values (e.g. 20 or 30 hours), custom values, or no limit
• Tests stop gracefully and preserve all discovered findings upon reaching task limits
• Enables revalidating individual findings against live applications without running full penetration tests
• Returns Active or Resolved status with complete revalidation history linked to original findings
