Amazon Inspector launches in the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the launch of Amazon Inspector in the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region. Amazon Inspector is an automated service focused on vulnerability management, designed to continuously scan AWS workloads, including Amazon EC2 instances, container images, and AWS Lambda functions. This service aims to identify software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposures across the AWS Organization.

The introduction of Amazon Inspector in the Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region expands its security capabilities, enabling customers in this region to automatically discover workloads, perform ongoing vulnerability assessments, and receive actionable security insights.
