note

First time using Amazon Inspector? Please refer to the following documentation.

Introduction

Consolidate vulnerabilities: from a single console, you can consolidate and apply vulnerabilities review identified by scan and develop action plans for vulnerabilities management.

This integration allows the import of issues (vulnerabilities) found in Amazon Inspector to Conviso Platform, allowing the user to take advantage of Conviso Platform's full potential for vulnerability management.

Requirements

The Conviso Platform and AWS Inspector Integration needs 3 pieces of information:

  • AWS Region;

  • AWS Access keys ID;

  • AWS Secret key Access.

In the next section, you will be guided through AWS Console to be able to retrieve these data.

note

This is the only time when you are able to get your user Secret Access Key. Beyond this point, if you do not copy the secret, you will be unable to recover it later!!!

Copy the Access Key ID and store it in a text file, to be able to recover it later. Next, click on the Show link next to the Secret Access Key to exhibit it and copy it to a safer place, you will use this data later on configuring Conviso Platform integration:

Now, to get the AWS Region where your Amazon Inspector is configured, click on the Services at the top menu bar and choose Amazon Inspector. Now, at the top menu bar, expand the Amazon Region to get the AWS region string where your Amazon Inspector is configured (in our example, the AWS is us-west-2. Change it according your current configuration):
