Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection for AWS Backup is now available, extending malware detection to your Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, and Amazon S3 backups. This capability automates malware detection in your backups without requiring additional security software or agents. You can identify your last known clean backup to minimize business disruption during recovery.
Malware protection scans new backups automatically, runs on-demand scans of existing backups, and verifies backups are clean before restoration. You can enable this capability even if GuardDuty foundational data sources aren’t enabled in your account. You can also use incremental scanning which analyzes only changed data between backups, reducing costs compared to rescanning full backups.
Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection for AWS Backup is available in the list of supported Regions. You can get started using the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI. To learn more, read the launch blog or visit the AWS Backup documentation and Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection documentation.
