<a name="govcloud-inspector2"></a>

Amazon Inspector is a security vulnerability assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of your AWS resources. Amazon Inspector automatically assesses resources for vulnerabilities or deviations from best practices, and then produces a detailed list of security findings prioritized by level of severity. Amazon Inspector includes a knowledge base of hundreds of rules mapped to common security standards and vulnerability definitions that are regularly updated by AWS security researchers.

**Note**  
The Amazon Inspector plugin for [Linux deep inspection](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/inspector/latest/user/scanning-ec2.html#deep-inspection) is not FIPS compliant.
