HAQM GuardDuty is now available in the Asia Pacific (Melbourne) Region. You can now continuously monitor and detect security threats in this additional region to help protect your AWS accounts, workloads, and data.
Customers across many industries and geographies use HAQM GuardDuty, including more than 90% of AWS’s 2,000 largest customers. GuardDuty continuously monitors for malicious or unauthorized behavior to help protect your AWS resources, including your AWS accounts, EC2 workloads, access keys, EKS clusters, and data stored in HAQM S3 and HAQM Aurora. GuardDuty can identify unusual or unauthorized activity like crypto-currency mining, access to data stored in S3 from unusual locations, or unauthorized access to HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters. GuardDuty Malware Protection adds file scanning for workloads utilizing HAQM Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes to detect the presence of malware. 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 of HAQM GuardDuty with a single-click in the AWS Management Console. Please see the AWS Regions page for all the regions where GuardDuty is available.
