Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Introduction

This document describes how to monitor and address malware risks in AWS S3 and Azure Storage with Cloud Malware.

Overview

With this feature, you can now discover and monitor malware risks within your AWS S3 and Azure Storage environments. A key use case is identifying files infected with malware that can steal credentials or exploit vulnerabilities, increasing the risk of lateral movement within your environment or to other environments.

Supported Response Actions for AWS and Azure

Currently, only monitoring is supported as a response action for AWS S3 and Azure Storage. Automatic remediation actions, such as file deletion or quarantine, are not available. This limitation prevents accidental disruption of mission-critical services while still allowing you to monitor for sensitive data exposure and malware risks.
