AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing platform provided by Amazon.

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is Amazon's managed container registry service for storing and managing container images.

Connecting AWS to OX enables OX to analyze your cloud environment and identify cloud security risks. The same integration also enables OX to analyze container images stored in Amazon ECR and consolidate cloud and container security findings in a single platform.
