Amazon Inspector
Amazon Inspector handles automated vulnerability management for EC2 instances and ECR containers, scanning continuously to identify security issues. It integrates directly into the AWS environment, providing ongoing assessment without manual intervention. This makes it ideal for teams already operating within AWS who need consistent visibility into their infrastructure’s security posture without adding new third-party tools to their stack.
The service is free, offering a no-cost entry point for vulnerability scanning. However, the lack of a paid tier suggests limited advanced features or support options compared to commercial alternatives. Teams requiring deep customization, extensive reporting, or cross-cloud coverage might find the scope restrictive, needing to supplement it with other tools for broader security needs.
