Amazon GuardDuty is now available in the Middle East (UAE) Region. You can now continuously monitor and detect security threats in this additional region to help protect your AWS accounts, workloads, and data.
Available globally, Amazon GuardDuty continuously monitors for malicious or unauthorized behavior to help protect your AWS resources, including your AWS accounts, EC2 workloads, access keys, container applications, and data stored in Amazon S3. GuardDuty can identify unusual or unauthorized activity like crypto-currency mining, access to data stores in S3 from unusual locations, infrastructure deployments in a region that has never been used, or unauthorized access to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters. GuardDuty Malware Protection adds file scanning for workloads utilizing Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes to detect malware that can be used to compromise resources, modify access permissions, and gain unauthorized access to your data. GuardDuty continually evolves its techniques to identify indicators of compromise, such as updating machine learning (ML) models, adding new anomaly detections, and growing integrated threat intelligence to identify and prioritize potential threats.
You can begin your 30-day free trial (see Amazon GuardDuty Free Trial) of Amazon GuardDuty with a single-click in the AWS Management Console. Please see the AWS Regions page for all the regions where GuardDuty is available.
