FULL STORY
======================================================================

Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) GuardDuty, the companys threat detection service 
in the cloud , is getting three new features that should further strengthen 
customer security. 

In a press release, the cloud giant said that EKS Runtime Monitoring, 
GuardDuty RDS Protection, and GuardDuty Lambda Protection will provide 
expanded coverage and continuous enhancements in machine learning, anomaly 
detection, and integrated threat intelligence. 

EKS Runtime Monitoring is tasked with better protecting containerized 
workloads; GuardDuty RDS Protection with data stored in Amazon Aurora 
databases, while GuardDuty Lambda Protections goal is to detect threats in 
serverless applications. Free for all 

The new features will be available to all current GuardDuty users - free of 
charge. To activate the tool, one should navigate to the AWS Management 
Console. GuardDuty was launched in 2017 and has since added more than 100 new 
threat detection capabilities, including the ability to detect credential 
exfiltration and compromise, AWS claims. 

GuardDutys new capabilities build on this powerful foundation to expand 
security detection and monitoring even further, to where customers tell us

applications, said Jon Ramsey, vice president for Security Services at AWS.

For AWS, being able to collect and alert users on events related to security 
is fundamental to every risk management program. The challenge to get that 
done grows bigger by the day, with the ever-expanding threat landscape, and a 
growing number of security tools, created by different vendors. 

The volume, and type, of threats also grows, as threat actors target web 
server instances with malware, cryptocurrency miners, and data exfiltration 
techniques. At the same time, the shortage of IT security pros makes 
defending the premises even harder. Here's our take on the best cloud storage 
solutions today
