Amazon Inspector is now available in four additional regions including Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), and Europe (Zurich). You can now continuously monitor your Amazon EC2 instances, AWS Lambda functions, and container images residing in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure in these 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. Accounts can scan their environment for vulnerabilities with a free 15-day trial. To get started, visit Amazon Inspector.
