AWS open-sources Agent SOPs to simplify AI agent development
However, AWS claims that during its internal use of Strands Agents, its developers encountered issues while deploying agents built with the SDK. The SDK’s reliance on model-driven reasoning, according to AWS, often produced unpredictable outcomes once agents hit production workloads, leading to inconsistent results, misinterpreted instructions, and high-maintenance prompt engineering — all of which were […]

How pairing SAST with AI dramatically reduces false positives in code security
The core problem: Context vs. rules Traditional SAST tools, as we know, are rule-bound; they inspect code, bytecode, or binaries for patterns that match known security flaws. While effective, they often fail when it comes to contextual understanding, missing vulnerabilities in complex logical flaws, multi-file dependencies, or hard-to-track code paths. This gap is why their […]
