## What is Amplify Security?

Amplify Security is a cloud-native security platform that integrates industry leading security tools
into your development workflow and provides automatically generated code fixes for security
vulnerabilities.

<Note>
  Amplify Security is currently in beta. Documentation and application functionality may change frequently.
</Note>

## How Amplify secures your code

Amplify Security runs configured security tools on codebases that have been added to Amplify using
our [GitHub Action](https://github.com/amplify-security/runner-action) or [GitLab
Component](https://gitlab.com/amplify-security/components/). Amplify notifies developers of new
vulnerabilities directly in their pull/merge requests and provides code fixes when available.

<Tip>Official documentation for running Amplify Security on Bitbucket is coming soon!</Tip>

Our dedication to securing your code doesn't stop at identifying new vulnerabilities. The Amplify
platform continuously runs configured security tools on your codebase and generates new code fixes
as they become available for existing vulnerabilities. Once you've reviewed the available code
fixes, you can open a PR to apply the fix within the Amplify platform.

## Developer first security

Amplify is designed and built by developers, for developers. We're tired of security products that
both get in the way and don't actually improve security just as much as you are. Our engineering
team will never stop thinking about what developers actually need to develop secure code with zero
reduction to velocity and without security theater.

## Core components

All of the core components that you need to secure your code with Amplify are open source and
available for review.
