Amazon Inspector customers

“The new Amazon Inspector made it easy to adopt a cloud vulnerability management solution for our diverse AWS instances. By leveraging our already in use Systems Manager agents with Inspector, we automated continuous remediation and simplified operations with one-click onboarding, centralized controls, and operational visibility. Additionally, Inspector’s auto start capability identifies recommended patches in near-real time. After patching, Inspector automatically rescans instances, verifying that no new vulnerabilities were introduced. The use of Inspector has drastically reduced the mean time to remediate for Uber.”

“The new Amazon Inspector made it very easy for us to adopt a vulnerability management solution to support our software patching program and to detect vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized AWS access. Activating the service to scan both our EC2 and ECR environments for software vulnerabilities was made seamless using CloudFormation. In addition, since Inspector is integrated with AWS Organizations, our 1300+ existing and newly added accounts are automatically onboarded to the service. Inspector discovers all our workloads, continually scans them, consolidates a prioritized list of findings in its console, and it reduces our mean time to remediate with near-immediate notifications of new critical vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the Amazon EventBridge integration enables us to quickly inform development teams about the resources with critical vulnerabilities.”

“We have a dynamic AWS environment, with new accounts, configurations, and resources added and removed on a regular basis. Historically, this made it a challenge to ensure we are continually assessing all resources for vulnerabilities, requiring multiple products with a high maintenance overhead. The new Amazon Inspector helps address this problem, supporting vulnerability scanning for both EC2 instances and containers. Since Inspector integrates with AWS Organizations, all our existing and new accounts are also immediately using the service. The service discovers all our workloads, continually scans them using data from multiple vulnerability notification sources, consolidates a prioritized list of findings in its console, and allows us to focus on vulnerability remediation, rather than managing multiple discovery tools and configurations.”

“HelloSign uses Amazon Inspector, which helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS by assessing them for vulnerabilities and checking for unintended network accessibility. “We use the Amazon Inspector findings as part of our patch management automation process, saving a lot of time and resources in updating our software and  systems.”

“We started using AWS Config, AWS KMS, Amazon Inspector, and all these services, and they essentially gave us continual monitoring of our compliance and security posture. That’s how we tackled our main challenge—and we got it done in fewer than two quarters; we certified the whole company.”

Giuseppe Ciotta, Vice President of Engineering, Belvo

To strengthen its security posture and automate important tasks, Siemens turned to AWS. One of the primary drivers of the company’s decision to use AWS was the ease with which it could adopt AWS services and integrate them into its existing tools.

“We wanted to have centralized access to all of our information. We wanted to aggregate it from accounts across the organization and integrate it with all of our tools.”
