Amazon GuardDuty now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region

Posted on: Nov 2, 2020

Amazon GuardDuty is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. You can now continuously monitor and detect security threats in this region to help protect your AWS accounts, workloads, and data stored in Amazon S3. 

Available globally, Amazon GuardDuty continuously monitors for malicious or unauthorized behavior to help protect your AWS resources, including your AWS accounts, access keys, and data stored in Amazon S3. GuardDuty identifies unusual or unauthorized activity, like crypto-currency mining, access to data stored in S3 from unusual locations, or infrastructure deployments in a region that has never been used. Powered by threat intelligence, machine learning, and anomaly detection techniques to detect threats, GuardDuty is continuously evolving to help you protect your AWS environment. 

You can enable your 30-day free trial of Amazon GuardDuty with a single-click in the AWS Management console. To learn more, see Amazon GuardDuty Findings and using Amazon GuardDuty to protect your Amazon S3 Buckets.
