We are thrilled to announce another way for customers to install the HAQM Inspector agent on their EC2 instances. Customers can now use HAQM EC2 Systems Manager (SSM) Run Command to install the Inspector agent on a single instance or groups of instances. Previously, customers who wanted to install the HAQM Inspector agent on a fleet had to either manually install, or build their own installation script. With this launch, customers can use the HAQMInspector-ManageAWSAgent Systems Manager Document in Run Command. You can target instances you wish to install it on either by using tags or by providing instance ids. As an example, if you wanted to install the agent on all instances in an Inspector assessment target, you can specify the same tags used for creating that assessment target.
We’re also excited to announce that HAQM Inspector now supports HAQM Linux 2017.09. You can run security assessments using Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), HAQM Security Best Practices, and Runtime Behavior Analysis against your HAQM Linux 2017.09 instances.
