Amazon Inspector SBOM Generator comprehensive ecosystem collection
The Amazon Inspector SBOM Generator is a tool for creating a software bill of materials (SBOM) and performing vulnerability scanning for supported packages from operating systems and programming languages. It supports the scanning of various ecosystems beyond core operating systems, ensuring a robust and detailed analysis of infrastructure components. By generating an SBOM, you can understand the composition of modern technology stacks, identify vulnerabilities in ecosystem components, and gain visibility into third-party software.
Supported ecosystems
The ecosystem collection extends SBOM generation beyond packages installed through OS package managers. This is done through the collection of applications deployed in alternative methods, such as manual installation. The Amazon Inspector SBOM Generator supports scanning for the following ecosystems:
