Amazon GuardDuty is now available in the Canada West (Calgary) Region. You can now continuously monitor and detect anomalous behavior and security threats in this additional Region to help protect your AWS accounts, workloads, and data.
Tens of thousands of customers across many industries and geographies use Amazon GuardDuty. GuardDuty can identify unusual or unauthorized activity like cryptocurrency mining, access to data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) from unusual locations, or unauthorized access to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters. GuardDuty Malware Protection adds file scanning for workloads using Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon 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 Amazon GuardDuty with a single click in the AWS Management Console. To receive programmatic updates on new GuardDuty features and threat detections, subscribe to the Amazon GuardDuty SNS topic.
