Inspector Vuln Scan doesn't work with Windows

0

Hi all, I'm testing the new Inspector feature to scan for Vulns, but it's only working for Linux EC2 instances.

On the Windows Instances it says: Unsupported OS But the documentatio says that all the SSM Supported Operating Systems can be scaned. Both Windows and Linux instances are showed in SSM as Managed, and the service is running perfect.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Currently Windows OS is not currently supported for Amazon Inspector. The full list of supported Operating Systems is available in the documentation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/inspector/latest/user/supported.html

Amazon Inspector Classic does support certain Windows-based OSes however: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/inspector/latest/userguide/inspector_supported_os_regions.html

    Will it be supported any time? We are considering it as our Vuln Scan tool replacement but with this limitation is impossible.

    Yes Jere, we have a roadmap and customers asking for this, in the future. But no ETA at this moment.
