Amazon Inspector is now available in both AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. You can now continuously monitor your AWS workloads including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, container images in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), and AWS Lambda functions for software vulnerabilities in these additional regions.
Amazon Inspector is a vulnerability management service that continually scans AWS workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure across your entire AWS Organization. Once activated, Amazon Inspector automatically discovers all of your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, container images in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), and AWS Lambda functions, at scale, and continuously monitors them for known vulnerabilities, giving you a consolidated view of vulnerabilities across your compute environments. Amazon Inspector also provides a highly-contextualized vulnerability risk score by correlating vulnerability information with environmental factors such as external network accessibility to help you prioritize the highest risks to address.
Visit the AWS Regional Services list for all the regions where Amazon Inspector is currently available. All accounts can scan their environment for vulnerabilities with a free 15-day trial.
