Bitdefender has announced that its antimalware technologies support Amazon GuardDuty, a threat detection service that monitors for malicious activity and anomalous behavior to protect Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts, workloads, and data.
Bitdefender antimalware technology provides AWS customers with advanced threat detection to identify known and unknown malware, zero-day attacks, and malicious activity. When Bitdefender detects malware or abnormal activity in an Amazon GuardDuty environment, it alerts the customer and provides contextualized, actionable insights to help accelerate and guide response actions. Available in AWS Marketplace, Amazon GuardDuty customers can purchase a Bitdefender license for automated remediation capabilities to eliminate detected threats from their environment.
Amy Blackshaw, Vice President of Product and Technical Marketing at Bitdefender said, “adversaries are ramping up their attacks on public cloud workloads because they know that’s where organisations’ valuable data assets increasingly reside. The integration of Bitdefender technology within Amazon GuardDuty helps organisations become more cyber resilient in the cloud by providing accurate, real-time threat detection to stop attacks before they gain a foothold in their environment.”
Bitdefender antimalware technology provides multiple layers of protection, including heuristic analysis, machine-learning models for standard detection, advanced signatureless detection, signature-based detection, and emulation. This security integration provides Amazon GuardDuty customers with multi-layered threat detection and protection for all cloud workloads across Windows and Linux operating systems.
