Inspector

• Inspector is an automated security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS.

• It automatically assesses applications for exposure, vulnerabilities, and deviations from best practices.

• After performing an assessment, Inspector produces a detailed list of security findings prioritized by level of severity.

• Inspector security assessments help you check for unintended network accessibility of your EC2 instances and for vulnerabilities on those EC2 instances.

• Inspector assessments are offered to you as pre-defined rules packages mapped to common security best practices and vulnerability definitions.

• Examples of built-in rules include checking for access to your EC2 instances from the internet, remote root login being enabled, or vulnerable software versions installed.
