Share

Services

Amazon Inspector now offers the ability to export a consolidated Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for all Amazon Inspector monitored resources across your organization in industry standard formats, including CycloneDx and SPDX. With this new capability, you can use automated and centrally managed SBOMs to gain visibility into key information about your software supply chain. This includes details about software packages used in the resource, along with associated vulnerabilities. After Amazon Inspector exports the SBOMs to an Amazon S3 bucket, you have the option to download the SBOM artifacts and use Amazon Athena or Amazon QuickSight to analyze and visualize software supply chain trends. This capability in Amazon Inspector is available with a few clicks in the Amazon Inspector console or using Amazon Inspector APIs. SBOM exports are offered at no additional cost. Amazon Inspector SBOM exports is available in all commercial Regions where [Amazon Inspector is available](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/). [Amazon Inspector](https://aws.amazon.com/inspector/) is a vulnerability management service that continually scans AWS workloads for software vulnerabilities, code vulnerabilities, and unintended network exposure across your entire AWS Organization. Once activated, Amazon Inspector automatically discovers all of your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, container images in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), and AWS Lambda functions, at scale, and continuously monitors them for known vulnerabilities, giving you a consolidated view of vulnerabilities across your compute environments.
