What is Amazon GuardDuty?
Any network accessible from the internet and exposed to the public will be susceptible to malicious activity. Amazon GuardDuty keeps a close watch of your AWS account and the workloads that run on the cloud. The findings from GuardDuty can be easily routed into other workflows, like AWS Lambda, for automated remediation. What more? With the GuardDuty integration at Site24x7, you gain a minimalist and categorized view, like Trojan, Unauthorized Access, Stealth, Policy, and others.

Affected Resources
Identify the resources and the number of times they are affected by cryptocurrency mining-related, or unauthorized access-related activities. Receive insights about the exact instances that are vulnerable, and take precautionary measures to safeguard the instance for different GuardDuty findings.
Triggered Actions
Observe and get alerted if the Amazon EC2 instances have been compromised by any malicious activity using the Tor Network, an open-source privacy network that permits users to browse the web anonymously. Set thresholds and get alerted when there is a threshold breach on various action types, like instance API calls, DNS requests, or network connections.
