Episode 39: Inspector (Vulnerability Scanning)

In this episode, we explore AWS Inspector, a service designed to help you identify vulnerabilities and assess the security of your EC2 instances and containerized applications. AWS Inspector automates security assessments, scanning your instances for common vulnerabilities, configuration issues, and compliance violations. We’ll walk you through how to set up Inspector to run security assessments, how to interpret findings, and how to take corrective actions based on the vulnerabilities identified. By automating this process, AWS Inspector helps reduce the manual effort required to secure your environment and ensures continuous monitoring of potential threats.

We’ll also discuss how AWS Inspector integrates with other AWS services, such as Security Hub, to aggregate findings and prioritize security remediation. AWS Inspector supports a range of security assessments, including compliance checks for standards like CIS and PCI DSS. By using Inspector regularly, you’ll be able to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities proactively, improving your overall security posture and maintaining a more resilient environment. By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to implement AWS Inspector to ensure that your EC2 instances and applications remain secure and compliant.
