Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

1.Amazon Inspector: It is an automated security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS1.

1.Automated Scans: Amazon Inspector automatically scans workloads, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and Lambda functions, for vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure1.

1.Security Best Practices: It checks for deviations from best practices and provides detailed findings that include information about the nature of the threat, the affected resources, and recommendations for remediation1.

1.Integration with AWS: As an AWS-native service, Amazon Inspector is well-integrated into the AWS ecosystem, making it suitable for Richard's requirements to secure applications before deployment and while running1.

1.Exclusion of Other Options: AWS CloudFormation is used for infrastructure as code, AWS Control Tower for governance, and Amazon CloudFront for content delivery, none of which are automated security assessment services1.

Haha, CloudFront is for content delivery, not security assessment. Good one though, that was a bit of a trick question.

CloudFormation is great for automating the deployment of infrastructure, but I don't think it's the best fit for security assessment. Gotta go with Inspector on this one.
