A county IT lead confuses Amazon Inspector with AWS Shield while planning controls for web apps and compute. Which statement correctly separates their purposes?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Inspector is the building inspector looking for weak locks and cracked windows on your workloads; Shield is the berm against a flood of junk traffic. Swap those jobs in your head and you pick the wrong tool every time.
Full Explanation
Amazon Inspector is oriented toward vulnerability assessment of workloads, helping identify software issues and related findings. AWS Shield is oriented toward DDoS protection for AWS applications. They solve different security problems, and neither is primarily a DNS failover tool, IAM key vault, or certificate authority for load balancers.
