What is Amazon Inspector?

Amazon Inspector is an automated service designed to perform security assessments, thereby improving the security and compliance standards of applications hosted on AWS. This tool systematically assesses applications for potential vulnerabilities, exposure risks, and compliance with established best practices. After each assessment, Amazon Inspector produces an extensive list of security findings, categorized by their severity, allowing users to easily prioritize issues. These findings can be accessed directly or via detailed reports through the Amazon Inspector console or API. The security evaluations provided by Amazon Inspector help users recognize unwanted network access to their Amazon EC2 instances and uncover any vulnerabilities that may exist within those instances. Additionally, the assessments follow pre-defined rules packages that are in line with recognized security best practices and vulnerability definitions. By utilizing over 50 sources of vulnerability intelligence, the service enhances the speed at which zero-day vulnerabilities can be identified, ultimately reducing mean time to recovery (MTTR). This thorough methodology not only fortifies an organization’s security framework but also enables a proactive stance in mitigating potential risks, ensuring a safer operational environment for AWS applications. In doing so, Amazon Inspector empowers organizations to remain vigilant against emerging security threats.
