What is Amazon CodeGuru Security?

Amazon CodeGuru Security is a static application security tool that uses machine learning to detect security policy violations and vulnerabilities. It provides suggestions for addressing security risks and generates metrics so you can track the security posture of your applications. CodeGuru Security’s policies, which are informed by years of Amazon.com and AWS security best practices, help you to create and deploy secure, high-quality applications.

CodeGuru Security is currently supported in several AWS Regions.

What kind of suggestions does CodeGuru Security provide?

CodeGuru Security identifies security vulnerabilities in your code and suggests remediations to improve the security of your code base. Examples of security vulnerabilities it detects include resource leaks, hardcoded credentials, and cross-site scripting. CodeGuru Security can also identify code quality issues with some integrations. For more information on the types of analysis performed in code scans, see Types of code scans.

CodeGuru Security scans are powered by Amazon CodeGuru detectors that can identify a range of code security and code quality issues. For information about these detectors, see the Amazon CodeGuru Detector Library.
