Amazon Guardduty

In this article, we will discuss Amazon GuardDuty.

Purpose

When we provision resources in AWS, hackers always try to penetrate the resources and steal confidential data to exploit it to their advantage.

These resources can be an EC2 instance, an S3 bucket, an RDS instance, or something else. While hackers are always looking for loopholes to break the systems, it is your responsibility to protect your system before hackers can exploit the vulnerabilities.

Amazon GuardDuty is an intelligent threat detection service that monitors AWS resources for malicious activity and delivers detailed security findings.
