Amazon Inspector now supports Center of Internet Security (CIS) Benchmark assessments for operating systems in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. The CIS Security Benchmarks program provides well-defined, unbiased, consensus-based industry best practices to help organizations assess and improve their security. AWS is a CIS Security Benchmarks Member company.
Amazon Inspector is a vulnerability management service that continually scans AWS workloads for software vulnerabilities, code vulnerabilities, and unintended network exposure across your entire organization. Once activated, Amazon Inspector automatically discovers all of your Amazon EC2 instances, container images in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and within continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools, and AWS Lambda functions, at scale, and continuously monitors them for known vulnerabilities, giving you a consolidated view of vulnerabilities across your compute workloads.
Amazon Inspector CIS Benchmark assessments is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Inspector is currently available.
