Amazon Inspector enhances engine for Lambda standard scanning

Today, Amazon Inspector announced an upgrade to the engine powering its Lambda standard scanning. This upgrade will provide you with a more comprehensive view of the vulnerabilities in the third-party dependencies used in your Lambda functions and associated Lambda layers in your environment. With the launch of this enhanced scanning engine, you will benefit from these capabilities without any disruption to your existing workflows. Existing customers can expect to see some findings closed as the new engine re-evaluates your existing resources to better assess risks, while also surfacing new vulnerabilities. [Amazon Inspector](https://aws.amazon.com/inspector/) is a vulnerability management service that continually scans AWS workloads including Amazon EC2 instances, container images, and AWS Lambda functions for software vulnerabilities, code vulnerabilities, and unintended network exposure across your entire AWS organization. This improved version of Lambda standard scanning is available in all commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where [Amazon Inspector is available](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/).
