AWS v1 (deprecated)

You can import new assets directly from your AWS by giving us restricted read access.

This version of the AWS connector is now deprecated. Please follow the instructions for AWS v2 when adding a new connector.

Import assets directly from Route53, ElasticIP, and Elastic Load Balancer by integrating with AWS.

If you're connected with AWS, Halo Security can monitor assets with dynamic IP addresses by setting an AWS Instance ID for targets. For more information, see the Scan Configuration page.
