Why this is the answer
Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS.

It uses predefined assessment templates to evaluate Amazon EC2 instances for common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), network reachability, and security best practices. AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) protects web applications from common web exploits. AWS Trusted Advisor provides recommendations to optimize costs, improve performance, enhance security, and more. AWS Shield is a managed Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection service. These services do not perform vulnerability assessments on EC2 instances using predefined templates.
