Automating Enterprise Compliance with Multi-Agent AI on AWS

Manual compliance workflows can't scale when critical vulnerabilities hit. This session talks through building an agentic compliance system on Amazon Bedrock, from a simple EC2 agent to a full Supervisor-Agent architecture. A central Orchestrator manages three specialist agents — Vulnerability, Patch, and Compliance — to detect risks, enforce SLAs, and automate phased remediation in real time. Built with the open-source Strands SDK and deployed via AgentCore, it's a practical blueprint for autonomous, enterprise-grade compliance at scale.
