AWS Transfer Family announces Terraform module to automate scanning of transferred files

AWS Transfer Family Terraform module now supports deployment of automated malware scanning workflows for files transferred using Transfer Family resources. This release streamlines centralized provisioning of threat detection workflows using Amazon GuardDuty S3 Protection, helping you meet data security requirements by identifying potential threats in transferred files.

AWS Transfer Family provides fully managed file transfers over SFTP, AS2, FTPS, FTP, and web browser-
based interfaces for AWS storage services. Using the new module, you can programmatically provision workflows to scan incoming files, dynamically route files based on scan results, and generate threat notifications, in a single deployment. You can granularly implement threat detection for specific S3 prefixes while preserving folder structures post scanning, and ensure that only verified clean files reach your business applications and data lakes. This eliminates the overhead and risks associated with manual configurations, and provides a scalable deployment option for data security compliance.

Customers can get started by using the new module from the Terraform Registry. To learn more about Transfer Family, visit the product page and user guide. To see all the regions where Transfer Family is available, visit the AWS Region table.
