Bitdefender technologies support the AWS service Amazon GuardDuty for advanced threat detection, helping to detect malware, zero-day attacks, malicious activity and other cybersecurity threats.
Bitdefender today announced that its antimalware technologies now support Amazon GuardDuty. Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that monitors malicious activity and anomalous behavior to protect Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts, workloads, and data.
More protection for AWS customers
Bitdefender antimalware technology provides AWS customers with an advanced threat detection capability, identifying known and unknown malware, zero-day attacks and malicious activity. When Bitdefender detects malware or anomalous activity in an Amazon GuardDuty environment, customers receive an alert and contextual actionable intelligence to manage and accelerate mitigation. Through the AWS Marketplace, Amazon GuardDuty customers can quickly and easily purchase a Bitdefender automated remediation license to remove detected threats from their environment.
2025: 95 percent workload in the cloud
Companies of all sizes and industries are increasingly migrating their architectures and workloads to the cloud. Gartner experts estimate that by 2025 more than 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms, up from 30% in 2021. Effective security for workloads running in the cloud requires a shared responsibility model, at in which both the cloud provider and the end customer protect the environment and the workloads together. However, many organizations still have limited visibility into threats attacking their cloud workloads at the runtime level. Bitdefender technology particularly supports Amazon GuardDuty in mastering this task.
Heuristics, ML and AI against attackers
Bitdefender's antimalware technology offers layered protection including heuristic analysis, machine learning models for standard detection, advanced signatureless and signature-based detections, and emulation. With this built-in security, Amazon GuardDuty customers detect threats at multiple levels. Protection extends to all cloud workloads in Windows and Linux operating systems.
“Attackers are stepping up their attacks on workloads in the public cloud, knowing that organizations are increasingly relocating their valuable data assets there,” said Amy Blackshaw, vice president of product and technical marketing at Bitdefender. “The integration of Bitdefender technology with Amazon GuardDuty helps organizations increase their cyber resiliency in the cloud by accurately detecting threats in real time. In this way, it controls attacks before they can gain a foothold in the customer’s environment.”
