Amazon announced the release of Inspector, an application-scanning tool for apps running in EC2 instances that host applications. Inspector looks for compliance levels and vulnerabilities introduced during development. Inspector monitors network, file system and processes, and watches over whether the app securely connects to AWS services and between instances. The tool could cause some market anxiety for companies that provide network- and infrastructure-level scanning, but for cloud users who just want a quick and easy compliance and security check, Inspector is likely to be a welcome sight.
