Introduction to AWS Inspector<\/strong><\/h2>\n

AWS Inspector is a service to test the network accessibility of your Amazon EC2 instance(s) and the security state of your applications that run on those instances. It assesses the target EC2 instance(s) and checks for vulnerabilities and potential security threats. To leverage Amazon Inspector, you need to install an agent on the target EC2 instance (s).<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us look at the newly revamped AWS Inspector. This vulnerability management service was first launched in 2015 and was fantastic. But over the years, it started to show its age, and it was breaking down under some new fundamental ways that we are using new services in the AWS cloud. It was completely revamped and relaunched last year as a brand-new modernized AWS Inspector.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon Inspector’s agent will monitor the behavior of your EC2 instance(s) and collect telemetry information around the network, file system, and any processing activity. To perform an assessment, you need to create an assessment template and select rules depending on the test you would like to achieve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon Inspector can be fully automated through an API, allowing you to incorporate security testing into the development and design process.<\/span><\/p>\n
