Encryption of data at rest

PDFRSS

The telemetry data that an Amazon Inspector Classic agent generates during assessment runs is formatted in JSON files. These files are delivered in near-real-time over TLS to Amazon Inspector Classic, where they are encrypted with a per-assessment-run, ephemeral AWS KMS-derived key.

The files are securely stored in S3 buckets that are dedicated to Amazon Inspector Classic. The rules engine of Amazon Inspector Classic does the following:

  • Accesses the encrypted telemetry data in the S3 bucket

  • Decrypts it in memory

  • Processes the data against the configured assessment rules to generate findings
