  "account": "AWS announced its AI-powered security tool, Continuum, is generally available. The service automatically finds and validates code vulnerabilities, then proposes fixes through pull requests. Continuum demonstrated an impressive 89.0% end-to-end success rate in testing, outperforming previous AI agents. AWS CEO Matt Garman praised AI as a transformative force for security defenders. However, there may be a catch: Continuum's patch fixed only 37.8% of historical vulnerabilities, despite finding and stopping the crash 89.6% of the time. The benchmark used to evaluate Continuum only tests C and C++ memory-safety bugs, not covering the full spectrum of vulnerability types. Continuum's performance may improve with more time, as AWS reported a 93.7% success rate when given an extended 90-minute window. The benchmark and testing tools are publicly available, but AWS is the only one showcasing the tool's capabilities so far.",
