How it works

Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors your AWS accounts and workloads for malicious activity and delivers detailed security findings for visibility and remediation.

Use cases

Improve security operations visibility

Gain insight of compromised credentials, unusual data access in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), suspicious logins in Amazon Aurora, and API calls from known malicious IP addresses.

Assist security analysts in investigations

Receive security event findings with context, metadata, and impacted resource details, and determine their root cause using GuardDuty console integration with Amazon Detective.

Identify files containing malware

Scan Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) for files that might have malware creating suspicious behavior on instance and container workloads running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
