Event-driven vulnerability processing with Amazon EventBridge
Amazon Inspector → Default Bus → Vulnerability Rule → Process Vulnerability
Amazon Inspector vulnerability events to EventBridge
Amazon Inspector raises events during scanning. This pattern configures a rule to trigger a downstream consumer (Lambda function) when a Lambda function scan is complete. This enables event-driven automation around vulnerability scanning.
How this pattern works?
Before deploying this pattern you will need to turn on Amazon Inspector for your Lambda functions. Every time your Lambda function is scanned for vulnerabilities an event is raised with the results
Amazon Inspector events are sent to your default event bus (for free) and this pattern configures a rule to listen to these events to trigger downstream services
Using EventBridge rules you can filter which events and severity information you are interested in, and automate tasks from them
