AWS Introduces Strands Box, an Open-Source Sandbox for AI Agents to Enhance Security

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched Strands Box, an open-source sandbox designed for AI agents. This tool allows developers to restrict agent actions based on previous behavior, aiming to mitigate security risks as autonomous systems gain more access to applications and data. Released in developer preview, Strands Box combines operating system-level isolation with policies to govern agent activities.
