- Benefits:

• Comprehensive threat identification.

Amazon GuardDuty identifies threats by continuously monitoring network activity, data access patterns, and account behavior within your AWS environment. GuardDuty comes integrated with up-to-date threat intelligence feeds from AWS, CrowdStrike, and Proofpoint. Threat intelligence combined with machine learning and behavioral models helps you detect activities such as cryptocurrency mining, credential compromise behavior, unusual and unauthorized data access, communication with known command and control servers, or API calls originating from known malicious IPs.

• Strengthens security through automation.

In addition to detecting threats, Amazon GuardDuty also facilitates the automation of threat responses, reducing recovery and remediation time. GuardDuty can perform automated remediation actions by leveraging Amazon CloudWatch Events and AWS Lambda. GuardDuty security results are informative and actionable for security operations. Findings include details of affected resources and attacker information, such as IP address and geolocation.

• Enterprise scale and centralized management.

Amazon GuardDuty supports multiple accounts using AWS Organizations, so you can enable GuardDuty across all your new and existing accounts. Your security team can aggregate organizational findings from different accounts into a single GuardDuty administrator account for easier management. Aggregated findings are also available through CloudWatch Events, making it easy to integrate with an existing corporate event management system.
